situation as experimental and 
will use the time to test 
customer reaction. When its 
customers have expressed a 
view, Lufthansa wants to talk 
with its fellow IATA members 
again. “ Lufthansa is convinced 
now, as before, of tbe need for 
international agreement vdthin 
the framework of IATA,” it 
said. The earliest date for more 
talks would be tbe IATA meet- 
ing next autumn. 

Lufthansa’s ordinary first- 
class and economy fares will 
not be changed : the airline 
clearly intends to embrace most 
of its passengers in the excur- 
sion category. Loftleider, the 
Icelandic airline, may find much 
of tbe ground cut from under 
its feet by Lufthansa, in its rdle 
of tbe cheap carrier to America. 
Lines like Aer Lingus, with 
slender resources and depend- 
ing on services to America, could 
be hurt by the German initia- 
tive,, while Pan Am and TWA 
can weather almost any storm. 

One major brake remains pre- 
venting Lufthansa, or any line, 
from, scooping the transatlantic 
pool — the route licences, which 
mean that tbe German line can 
apply its fares from Frankfurt 
but not for instance, from Lon- 
don. There are no direct flights 
by Lufthansa from London to 
the American east coast. 

Salient features from the new 
eight-stage German fare scheme 
are : 

Low season round trip, excur- 
sion fare, valid for from 14 
to 45 days — £87.50. 

High season excursion — £112.50. 
Youth tariff for 12 to 21-year- 
olds, low season — £91. 

Youth tariff, high season — £100. 


Liberal 

views 

defined 


By FRANCIS BOYD. 

Political Correspondent 

Liberalism In action was the 
theme of the opening day of 
the Liberal assembly in Scar- 
borough yesterday. The final 
debate— on Lord Wade's 
motion reaffirming total 
opposition to the Immigration 
Bill — brought all sections of 
the party into agreement. 

Even the Young Liberals who 
have criticised the Parliament- 
ary performance of their party, 
recognised that Liberal mem- 
bers of both Houses had worked 
hard to modify the BH1. 

Mr Stephen Terrell, QC, 
president-elect of the party, 
opened with a definition of 
liberalism intended to exclude 
these- (unnamed! -members of 
the Young Liberals thought to 
be acting against the interests 
ofthe party. 

Mr Terrell, who helped to 
prepare a report on relations 
between the Young Liberals and 
the parly for Mr Thorpe, had 
been expected to cane the 
youngsters sharply. Commenta- 
tors at the assembly were 
advised to watch the face Df Mr 
Peter Haui. chairman of the 
Young Liberals, who was in the 
front row of the platform. 

Mr Hain however, managed to 
look studiously vacant, and 
patted the table in applause 
when Mr Terrell had finished. 

The president-elect's defini- 
tion of liberalism was that 
liberalism is about freedom — 
not licence. We uphold the rule 
of law not only because it is the 
means of protecting our own 
individual freedom, but also 
because it sets the limit so that 
freedom does not encroach 
lipon the equal rights of our 
neighbours to their freedom.” 

He then attacked those be 
thought i were attacking this 
liberalism — advocates of “way- 
out” policies which the party 
had not approved ; demonstra- 
tors damaging other people’s 
property ; those who used 
“ gimmicky slogans more remin- 
iscent of Socialism or anarchism 
than liberalism.” 

Such people, he said, should 
realise that the majority of 
liberals had dedicated much of 
their time and energy in sus- 
taining the true faith of liberal- 
ism, and were ” not prepared to 
see the Liberal Party baulked 
from carrying out its duty to 
give ouf fellow nu?n the opportu- 
nity of Liberal representation 
at local and national leveL” 
Better, he said, that tbe 
people he had criticised 
‘should get out and join a 
rty which has no aspirations 
at all. or one which is not dedi- 
dated as we are to liberalism.” 
Mr Terrell’s report found that 
there were few complaints from 
senior Liberals about the Young 
Liberals, but that there was

A short circuit at General Electric 



ANNUAL company meetings, 
, so their exponents argue, are 
tangible proof of democracy 
in action, the time when 
management accounts to 
shareholders for its actions 
over' the year. If so, then 
democracy moves in rapid 
ways. 

Yesterday, one of the coun- 
try’s largest companies. 
General Electric, accounted to 
a handful of, shareholders in 
precisely - 45 minutes for a 
year in which it declared 
numerous redundancies, was 
hit by strikes, and reached a 
turnover of over £1,000 mil- 
lions. 

Only sir questions were 
asked by the shareholders 
present— about 300 out of a 
total of 250,000— and the 
meeting would .have closed 
even earlier if some demon-

strators had not slowed things 
up. Members of the Share- 
holders Action Group, who 
have been to GEC meetings in 
the past, demonstrated outside 
London s Park Lane Hotel as 
shareholders arrived, distri- 
buting leaflets attacking the 
company’s policies at home 
and overseas. 

The half a dozen demonstra- 
tors sat patiently while a 
desultory; question on turn- 
over was asked, and then 
spoke out against the com- 
pany’s policies in South 
Africa — six of its 13 overseas 
subsidiaries are based there — 
and' its manufacture of bomb- 
ing devices used by the 
American army in Vietnam. 

They accused the company 
of genocide and claimed Its 
policies “ are made by a small 
group of men whose interests 


are not those of the people 
their, decisions affect” 

Not unnaturally, share- 
holders tend to be dedicated

Members of the Ulster Union- 
ist Party, still loyal to Mr 
Faulkner's administration, took 
the view that the Prime Minis- 
ter had no option but to intro- 
duce internment, and that he 
had performed with great 
courage a move that was defi- 
nitely necessary. Captain 
Lawrence Orr, the leader of the 
Ulster Unionists at Westminster, 
agreed last night that the mea- 
sure would certainly not recon- 
cile the opposing factions in 
Ulster, “but it is certainly a 
step on the way to bringing 
order back to the streets." 

He was scornful of Mr Gerry 
Fitt's apparently final refusal to 
participate in the London talks. 
“It was just an excuse not to 
take part. Mr Fitt and h is politi- 
cal colleagues are in such a 
state of intimidation that they 
could not go in any case. If 
Mr Fitt went, he might well be 
killed or injured, and he knews 
this well. Internment is just 
the excuse he wanted." 

Ian Aitken writes: The 

Government last night reaffirmed 
that there could be no question

Captain Orr was convinced 
that the IRA would react vio- 
lently to the news. This was 
certainly the feeling in Belfast 
last night as troops and police 
waited for the beginning of yet 
more outbreaks of violence

AIR CANADA announced 
yesterday that it has signed 
a new contract to buy 10 
Lockheed TriStar Jets with an

contract is a modification of 
an earlier agreement made in 
December, 1968. Tbe aircraft 
will cost $18.1 millions each

Sir Alec Douglas-Home left Cairo for Morocco today after what both sides

Its success lies mainly perhaps in. the final symbolic eradication of the bad

physically, was the high

-the United States Secretary of 
State, in his 1969 plan, had at 
least allowed for minor adjust- 
-merits in the pre-1967 borders. 
In particular, the officials felt 
that Sir Alec's timing was 
wrong. “ Since there is now no 
negotiation going on regarding 
the borders of peace, and since 
the matter has to be worked 
out in free negotiation. Sir 
Alec's intervention was not a 
positive contribution towards 
peace,” the officials said. 

They also complained of a 
contradiction between Sir 
Alec’s reference to “ agreed 
borders” and his attempt to 
draw the borders in advance of 
agreement 

Sir Alec has drawn as 
expected, an almost Pavlovian 
response from the Israelis 
because he committed the sin of 
drawing boundaries in advance 
of negotiation. Israelis feel pas- 
sionately that this merely 
encourages the Egyptians to 
insist on “all or nothing” — 
and thereby makes peace more 
remote than ever. However, 

S art of this pique is put on, 
e cause Israeli hopes of early 
prospects for peace, or even a 
partial settlement, are almost at 
zero anyway. 

Perhaps Sir Alec would have 
got away more lightly if he had 
not agreed to be photographed 
in Arab clothing. He is 
expected here early next year 
and one official suggested to me 
tonight off the record — that 
the Foreign Secretary should be 
invited to put on a skull cap 
and prayer shawL 
Mr Abba Eban, the Foreign 
Minister, left here tonight for 
London on a day's private visit 
— his mother lives there — on 
his way to New York, where he 
will press the case for a 
resumption of American deli- 
veries of Phanton fighter- 
bombers for Israel. Mr Eban 
expects to be in London again 
on his way back from New 
York.

His gesture may have amused 
Egyptians, but it did not cause 
derision. That can be gauged 
from the protective way they 
defend Sir Alec (who was prac- 
tically forced by his own corn- 


taking over from the Ameri- 
cans. He declined to criticise 
them though perhaps his 
repeated assertion that the 
problem was an “immensely 
complicated ” one was meant to

On toe eve of his journey 
to the Crimea to meet the 
Soviet Communist Party 
leader, Mr Brezhnev, the 
West ' German Chancellor, 
Herr Brandt, said the meet- 
ing did not represent a go-it- 
alone on the part of Bonn, 

After accepting the invita- 
tion, the Federal Govern- 
ment had informed its allies 
about the visit and had since 
had consultations with them. 
These woald be condoned 
after his return. 

The Chancellor, ■ who was 
speaking at a Cabinet meet 
mg, replied to press criticism 
that bis talks would be with 
the Soviet leadership and not 
with the Government. (Ur 
Kosygin, the Prime Minister, 


will not be present.) Some 
papers had reported that 
Herr Brandt would be seeing 
“only Brezhnev.” 

To this the Chancellor 
replied, “ Nobody says when I 
go to Paris to meet the Presi- 
dent that 1 am seeing ‘ only 
Pompidou.”' The French 
comparison was appropriate, 
as the French are said to be 
particularly nettled at the 
thought of toe Brandt-Brezh- 
nev tete-a-tete. The French 
Government prefers to make 
the running in Eastern 
Europe. 

Herr Brandt’s talks will 
deal with East-West rela- 
tions, prospects for a Euro- 
pean security conference, the 
Four-Power agreement on 


Berlin, and a variety of 
bilateral matters, such as 
trade and scientific and cul- 
tural exchanges. Bonn main- 
tains the view that serious 
preparations for a security 
conference cannot be made 
until all stages of the Berlin 
agreement are complete. 

Ohvionsly the Chancellor 
will suggest to Mr Brezhnev 
that Moscow should persuade 
the East Germans to get 
down to negotiations with 
Bonn and to stop creating 
difficulties about the German 
text of the agreement. 

The meeting between Herr 
Brandt and Mr Brezhnev is to 
take place in the small Black 
Sea town of Oreanda, near 
Yalta.

session of the UN General Assembly 


U Thant sets successor problem 
for the Great Powers 


From RICHARD SCOTT: Washington, September 15 


U Thant’s statement yester- 
day that under no circum- 
stances would he be prepared to 
remain secretary-general of the 
United Nations, even for a brief 
period, after toe expiry of his 
present, second term in Decem- 
ber, is regarded here as 
unequivocal and final. The 
United Nations will have to find 
a successor. 

In toe past this has not 
proved an easv task. That is 
hardly surprising. Tbe candi- 
date has to be acceptable to 
both Communist and capitalist 
countries ; to the developed 
and underdeveloped world ; to 
Arabs and Jews ; to those who 
want a strong and independent 
secretary-general, and those who 
prefer one who is piian: and 
bureaucratic. 


He can only be selected from 
a nation which is widely 
regarded as reasonably 
independent of the world's 
main political power blocks, a 
reasonably neutral nation, 
almost inevitably a smaller 
nation. These requirements 
severely limit the available 
choice. 


Since the creation of toe 
world organisation there have 
been only three secretaries- 
general. Two were drawn from 
Scandinavia — Trygvie Lie of 
Norway and his successor Dag 
Hammarskhold of Sweden 
— and the current incumbent, 
U Thant, is Burmese. Of the 
present candidates for the post, 
another Scandinavian is out- 
standing — Finland's Ambassa- 
dor to toe UN, Max Jakobson, a 
former journalist, a man of 


principle, high integrity, and 
undoubted ability. 

Iftere is no question about 
Jakobson's capacity to fill the 
post He would almost certainly 
prove a “ strong ” secretary- 
general. But do toe Russians 
want that ? Jakobson also 
happens to be Jewish, though 
even Ms Arab colleagues 
concede his objectivity over 
thedr country’s conflict with 
Israel 

Other candidates include the 
UN representatives of Ethiopia, 
Ceylon and Australia. Dieir 
support seems to be more sec- 
tional than that of Jakobson. 

The procedure for the 
election of a new secretary- 
general Is for the Security 
Council to recommend a candi- 
date and for the full Assembly 
to appoint him. 


The New York State Commis- 
sioner of Correction, Mr Russel 
Oswald, today acknowledged 
that all nine of the hostages 
killed at Attica State Prison 
were killed accidentally by 
police and National Guard gun- 
fire. This confirmation ■ of the 
autopsy findings, which flatly 
contradicted toe official reports 
of the taking of toe prison, has 
started a nationwide storm as 
bitter as it is emotional. 

Senator Edmund Muskie said 
the killin gs at the prison were 
“more stark proof that some- 
thing is terribly wrong in 
America. We have reached toe 
point where men would rather 
die than live another day.” In 
an emotional speech to the 
Governors' Conference in San 
Juan, the leading Democratic 
candidate for the presidential 
nomination discarded a pre- 
pared address and called on the 
nation's leadership to ensure 
that similar events would not 
occur again. 

Governor Nelson Rocke- 
feller, however, today defended 
the decision to storm the 

S risen, saying that he stiH 
elieved it Had saved lives. 
Asked bow this statement could 
be reconciled with the fact that 
all nine hostages had been 
killed % police bullets, he 
replied that this had served 
only “to add to toe depths of 
toe tragedy.” 

“I do not see,” he said, "how 
I - could have done any 
differently.” 

The Governor added that he 
was surprised, in fact, that so 
few people had been killed, con- 
sidering how many had been 
involved in the prison rioting. 

Questioned persistently on 
why he had not agreed to 
negotiate personalty, with the 
convicts, as they had asked, Mr 
Rockefeller claimed that there 
was no evidence that the 
prisoners wanted to settle the 
rebellion through negotiations. 

In Washington, Mr Ronald 
Ziegler, the White House Press 
Secretary, had a short, sharp 
exchange with reporters, insist- 
ing that President Nixon “of 
course” stood by his original 
statement supporting Mr Rocke- 
feller. 

Mr William Kunstler, 
the lawyer who was one of those 
who attempted to ' mediate 
between the prisoners and the 
authorities, said last night that 
he believed Mr Rockefeller was 
“ a barbarous murderer.” It was 
clear, he said, that more decent 
men were inside the walls of 
the prison than outside. 

Funeral processions for two 
prison guards moved through 
the streets of Attica today as 
the death toll rose to 42 when a

From our Correspondent 

Lusaka, September 15 
The South-west African 
People’s Organisation 

(SWAPO) is opening up a new 
front in its protracted cam- 
paign to wrest the disrupted 
territory from South African 
rule — this time in Europe. 
Early signs look hopeful for the 
staging of a multinational 
conference between February 
22 and 25 in Brussels. 

It is expected to be attended 
by Mr Dialio Telli, Secretary- 
General of the Organisation of 
African Unity, and by represen- 
tatives of Amnesty Inter- 
national, the International 
Association of Democratic 
Lawyers, the International Co- 
mission of Jurists, the Inter- 
national Confederation of Free 
Trade Unions, the London- 
based International Defence 
and Aid Fund, Church organisa- 
tions and many others, as well 
as by delegates from African 
countries.

that the club’s 
application to join the 
Transvaal Cricket Union 
applied for membership 
nearly two years ago. After a 
delay of nearly a year the 
Union told the dub the 
application was being 
rejected on Government 
advice. 

Mr Bhamjee believed now 
was an opportune time for 
the application. “First, the 
whole climate of the colour 
bar in sport has changed 
radically over the last year, 
and secondly, we feel that if 
white cricketers who have so 
loudly been advocating multi- 
racial cricket are all honest, 
they will admit us now with- 
out hiding behind Govern- 
ment policy. ' 

“We feel we have a good 
chance now, with white 
clubs advocating mnltriraeial 
cricket Meanwhile, we are 
going to try to get as many 
games as possible with white 
teams.— Renter. 


Support for the conference 
has also been promised from 
Scandinavian countries, and the 
influential opposition Parti 
Socialist Beige has agreed to 
host the conference. 

The main aim will be to focus 
attention in Europe — ’parti- 
cularly in a NATO country — 
on the cause for trying to end 
South African white domina- 
tion in South-west Africa. 

SWAPO is one of the more 
impressive liberation move- 
ments and is comparatively free 
from the kind of bitter tribal 
divisions which debilitate 
Rhodesian and other move 
ments. It uses Lusaka as its 
main base and increased guer- 
rilla activity against the South 
Africans is .suggested! by recent 
sabotage incidents m the 
Caprivi Strip — the thin corri 
dor of land sandwiched between 
Botswana . and Zambia and 
heavily guarded by South 
African troops, some of whom 
were blown up when their jeep 
hit a landmine near the Zam 
bian frontier a few months ago 


Sentenced 
for spying 


An Austrian court sentenced 
a Government official yesterday 
to 10 months' imprisonment on 
charges of spying for Czechoslo- 
vakia. Dr Karl Lichtenecker 
(42), an editor in the Austrian 
Federal press service, admitted 
giving information to a Czech 

He told the court: “I only 
gave h»m minor information 
about Austria’s economic plans 
to boost his position, in the 
Czechoslovak Foreign Trade 
Ministry, but none of the 
information was of a top-secret 
nature. 

Lichtenecker said he received 
only a M couple of hundred 


Czech crowns ” for each piece of 
information and had wanted to 
give up the work.

Cultural winter 


over for 


China’s writers 


From DONALD BREMNER : Hongkong, September 15 


The long winter is ending for 
writing in China. Literary out- 
put is changing to match 
China's present mood of inter- 
national relaxation, political 
moderation, and increased 
foreign contacts. 

In a significant shift from the 
past few years, writers of books, 
magazines, and pamphlets are 
being allowed, even 
encouraged, to grow out of the 
narrow ideological mould into 
which they were forced by the 
Cultural Revolution. 

No longer are reading 
materials to be limited largely 
to the ideas of Chairman Mao 
and their application to every- 
thing from daily life to affairs of 
State. History, literature, art, 
science . and technology, 
geography, and international 
events, are once again approved 
subjects for writers, who are 
officially urged to “ publish 
more and better popular 
reading material.'' 

These are sensitive fields, and 
writing will still be expected to 
conform to current political 
orthodoxy. But writers are 
exhorted to try, and their “ mis- 
takes '* will be corrected by 
criticism. 

Recent visitors to China say 
the effects of the new policy are 
already apparent New short 
stories and novels are appear- 
ing in bookshops where no new 
fiction has been displayed for 
nearly five years. While heavily 
political, they are more than 
just paraphrases of Mao. 

The change is another major 
liberalisation and an especially 
important one in view of the 
r61e of published material in 
China. Literature and art are 
viewed as propaganda vehicles 
for shaping public opinion, 
either for or against the aims of 
the regime. Leading figures in 
these fields were among the 
first to be attacked in the open- 
ing days of the Cultural Revolu- 
tion nearly six years ago. 

Scores of writers and editors 
were discredited, and most 


national and provincial popular 


magazines and periodicals were 
suspended. Books and maga- 
zines were reported burned in 
the streets by Red Guards. Only 
a handful of Chinese publica- 
tions have been available for 
sale abroad, compared with 
dozens before the Cultural 
Revolution. 

The Peking leadership prob- 
ably would not ease the stric- 
tures on writing as long as 
opponents remained in position 
to use publications for hidden 
attacks. The present relaxation 
indicates that Chinese leaders 
are confident that the most seri- 
ous opposition has been over- 
come, and they no longer need 
fear subversion through litera- 
ture and art. 

“Red Flag,” the ideological 
journal of the Communist 
Party, gave another reason in 
an article setting the new 
course — it answers the popu- 
lar demand for more nonpoliti- 
cal writing. 

“ The broad masses have put 
forward higher demands for 
popular reading material on 
literature and art, science and 
technology, history, geography, 
international events, and so 
forth,” the paper said. Striving 
to publish more such works was 
“ an important task for publish- 
ing circles.” 

In addition, M Red Flag ” said, 
if people's demand for popular 
works is not met with the right 
kind of books and magazines, 
they will be poisoned by the 
wrong sort of materials. 

“The class struggle in the 
Ideological field is still continu- 
ing,” the journal said. “A hand- 
ful of class enemies, as well as 
the old force of habit of the 
exploiting classes, are employ- 
ing ways and means to corrupt 
young people through various 
channels with feudal, bourge- 
ois, and revisionist poisonous 
weeds in an attempt to contend 
with us for the next 
generation.” Los Angeles Times.

Stolen 
paintings 
in attic 


Venice, September 15 

Police today recovered five 
stolen Renaissance paintings 
valued at £1.5 millions from the 
attic of an abandoned old 
people's borne. They believe 
they may also be on the brink 
of retrieving a stolen Titian 
masterpiece. 

At dawn two motorboat loads 
of police, carabinieri, and 
Customs officers converged on 
the island of Poveglia in Venice 
lagoon and found the paintings 
— two panels of a tryptych by 
Giovanni Bellini, and all three 
of another by Bartolomeo 
Vivarini. 

Dr Francesco Valcanover, 
superintendent of galleries and 
art works in the Venice region, 
said later that police were on 
the brink of finding the Titian 
picture of a Madonna between 
two saints, stolen from the 
painter's birthplace at Pieve di 
Cadore near the Austrian 
border. 

The police said they paid an 
informer £3,300 to learn the 
whereabouts of the five pic- 
tures. The sum was offered 
some days ago by the president 
of the Italian committee for 
Venice. Professor Bruno Vi sen- 
tin i, for information leading to 
the recovery of the paintings 


Saigon, September 15

The European Commission faces one of its most embarrassing confrontations 
yet with European Parliament Next week, the president of the Parliaments Christian 
Democratic group, Herr Hans-August Lucker, of the West German Bundestag, will 
ask the commission for its views on two articles in which Professor Ralf Dahrendorf,

be the first time that a mem- 
ber of the commission has 
been attacked in public by 
members of another Com- 
munity institution. 

The cause is two articles that 
appeared this summer in the 
German weekly u Die Zeit,” and 
were reported at length in the 
Guardian of August 3. In them 
Dahrendorf, using the pseu- 
donym of Wieland Europe, also 
criticised many of the Com- 
munity’s existing policies. He 
described the commission as M a 
bureaucratic leviathan ” and 
the- European parliament 
sessions as “a farce.” 

The articles were greeted out- 
side the commission as provok- 
ing a much-needed debate about 
the nature of the Community. 
But the debate has turned sour 
for two reasons. Calling for 
Dahrendorfs resignation, the 
CDU , members of the 
Bundesstag used the oppor- 
tunity to renew their campaign 
for a CDU member of the com- 
mission. At present, the West 
German quota is made up of 
Herr Wilhelm Haferkamp, 
Social Democrat, and 
Dahrendorf himself, who is a 
member of the Free Demo- 
cratic Party. 

Secondly. Professor Dah- 
rendorf cam e up against the 
principle of the collegiallty of 
the nine-man commission. 
According to this, the commis- 
sion must always present 
formal, unanim ous, front to the 
outside world. 

The commission has had 
some painful deliberations 
about the consequences of 
Dahrendorfs articles, and has 
yet to adopt a final position. Dr 
Sicco Mans bolt, commissioner 
responsible for agriculture, who 
bolds the traditional view that 
the commission is the nucleus 
of a future European Govern- 
ment. has implied that Dahren- 
dorf should resign. 

His argument is believed to 
rest firmly on the collegiate 
principle. If Dahrendorfs views 
are not shared by all the mem- 
bers of the commission them 
Dahrendorf should offer his 
resignation. 

The CDU group in the Euro- 
pean Parliament is asking the 
commission if it is of the 
opinion that, in the eyes of 
European public opinion, 
Dahrendorfs articles “ seri- 
ously harm the responsibility 
and authority of the commis- 
sion.” Although the SPD, the 
Gaul lists, and the liberal groups 
in the European Parliament 
have said they will not join in 
the argument next Thursday’s 
debate promises to be lively. 


5 Greeks held 
by Rome police 


Five Greeks said to belong to 
an exiled anti-Government 
organisation have been arrested 
In Rome. They have been 
charged with possessing dyna- 
mite and other explosives. 

The police said yesterday 
that the five were arrested in a 
police raid on Tuesday. 


Secondary classes halted by 
French teachers’ strike 


From our Correspondent : Paris, September 15 


There were no classes at most 
secondary schools in Paris, 
Lyons, Lille, and other chief 
towns of France today, because 
of a teachers’ strike. It was the 
first day of the new school year. 

-The teachers' unions claimed 
that 75 to SO per cent of staff 


had stayed away, but the 
Ministry of Education put the 
figure at 40 per cent. Attend- 
ance seems to have varied 
widely throughout the country, 
from about 10 per cent to 90 
per cent. 

Most of France’s 3,800,000 


secondary school children who 
went to school this morning, 
were enrolled and given their 
timetables and then told to 
home. As Thursday is a weekly 
holiday, classes will not reas- 
semble until Friday when the 
teachers are expected to return.

Eight trade unions represent- 
ing almost all the 200,000 
secondary teachers, had ordered 
the 24-hour strike, in protest 
against “ the disturbing 
degradation in working condi- 
tions and tiie reduction of holi- 
days." They complained that 
the Education Minister, Olivier 
Gui chard, had refused to listen 
to their complaints. 


Mr Guichard said the strike 
was unjustified, as the teachers’ 
unions were officially represen- 
ted on the education councils, 
and had every opportunity of 
being heard.

hospital with an abdominal 
wound yesterday after a man 
had entered his office in Rawal-

stabbed him. 


Government officials said 
later that the assailant was an 
air-conditioning supervisor who 
had recently been dismissed 
from the Government's Capital 
Development Association.

Ahmed was not in danger. —

Yevtushenko for 
the United States 


From DUSKO DODER: Woshingtonn, September 15 


SOVIET authorities have 
agreed to allow Yevgeny 
Yevtushenko to visit toe 
United States in the hew 
year. Embassy officials In 
Washington confirm that toe 
controversial poet will visit 
the United States as a guest 
of Donbleday Company, his 
American publisher. 

The visit was originally 
scheduled for October, when 
a new book of Yevtushenko's 
poems entitled H Stolen 
Apples,” is to be published. A 
spokesman for Donbleday 
said the trip was postponed 
for unspecified reasons nntQ 
January. 

Yevtushenko, whose trips 
to the United States in 1263 


and 1966 made him popular 
with college audiences, is one 
of toe most compelling repre- 
sentatives of the Soviet 
liberal intelligentsia. His 
foreign travel was restricted 
after he had criticised the 
1968 Soviet-led invasion of 
Czechoslovakia and opposed 
the expulsion of the Nobel 
prize-winning novelist Alex- 
ander Solzhenitsyn from the 
Soviet Writers 1 Union in 
1969. 

Donbleday officials said 
they were arranging a lec- 
ture tour for Yevtushenko, 
who is expected to stay In the 
United States for about 45 
days. He toured Latin 
America this summer. —

conditions." 

The committee stresses the 
abysmal lade of accurate inform- 
ation, partly the result of toe 
unreliability of the 1966 census. 
The Lambeth cornual had found 
variations of up to 40 per cent 
during house-to-house research, 

the highest discrepancies being 

to areas of immigrant multi- 
occupation. So the 6.7 per cent 
coloured immigrant proportion 
of toe population there can only 
be a very rough guide. 

The report is specific about 
the housing conditions. “In Lam- 
beth we saw bad housing of toe 
type we were to see often again 
-7-damp walls and floors, bare 
live electric wiring, peeling 
wallpaper, mould, rickety stair- 
cases, rotting floorboards, loose 
hard board partitions, insufficien t 
natural light, kitchens and bath- 
rooms without provision for hot 
water and shared by two or 
three families. 

We were depressed by the 
cramped living conditions— to 
on 1 partioned part of a room not 
more than seven feet by Ttfao 
feet were beds and cots for four 
people— -and by the lack of 
amenity and playing space for 
children. But we were impressed 
by toe efforts of many tenants 
to make such depressing prem- 
ises into clean and well furn- 
ished homes for their families.” 

Tie report stresses toe effect 
of housmg on race relations.

By OLIVER PRITCHETT 

0S1BISA, Wishbone Ash, Van 
Der Graaf Generator, Tarkus, 
Sticky Fingers, and Tom and 
Jerry. These are some of the 
favourite things of the readers 
of “ Melody Maker.” 

The thesis has not yet been 
written to explain why the 
solemn disciples of rock 
should care for cat and mouse 
games, but “ Tom and Jerry " 
came fifth in the magazine’s 
poll for Die roost popular 
television show. 

The. awards were announced 
in London yesterday at the 
Waldorf Hotel. Groups and 
fringe-groups, arrangers and 
hangers-on. girl friends and 
businessmen assembled for 
the occasion, then got so 
involved in talking pop shop 
that they almost missed the 
presentation of the prizes — 
heavy ashtrays made of rock 
in pastel shades. 

Rod Stewart was top British 
male singer, and Sandy Denny 
lop female. 

The presentation of the 
awards was supervised by a 
hardworking man with a 
ginger beard, a ring in his 
left ear, a bell on his left 
ankle, white gym shoes, a 
black vest, and calf-length 
trousers who turned out to be 
Viv Stanshaw of tbe Bonzo 
Dog band — but was neverthe- 
less ignored. 

“ Get all these bums clap- 
ping," he pleaded as he pre- 
sented the award to Rod 
Stewart. It was no good. 
Perhaps, after all. it is true 
that pop people don't much 
care about awards. Perhaps, 
after all. Mr Stanshall should 
have taken a Dp from Tom 
and Jerry and thrown a heavy 
pastel -shaded ashtray at some- 
body's head. 


CS gas was yesterday given a 
clean bill of health for use in 
riots by a committee of doctors 
and scientists. They said it was 
only under exceptional circum- 
stances that excessive doses of 
the gas could be received that 
might cause serious injury or 
death. 

“In conditions of civil opera- 
tions, with disciplined troops 
and police, it is highly improb- 
able that such circumstances 
could occur,” says their report. 

They say the danger of using 
the gas is confined essentially 
to situations where it may be 
shot, either by accident or 
intention, into enclosed spaces. 
For this reason, the committee 
recommends that it should be 
available in smaller cartridges 
for getting people out of small 
rooms. 

The conimitee, headed by Sir 
Harold Hitnsworlh, also says 
that although the risk from 
CS pellets is no greater 
than that from grenades, if the 
pellets get between clothing 
and the skin they can cause 
burns. 

The committee recommends 
that if a chemical agent is to be 
used to control civil distur- 
bances, medical and scientific 
research relevant to the 
decision should be published in 
scientific journals “so that 
informed medical and scientific 
opinion may assess the situa- 
tion for itself.” 

The report has been 
welcomed by the Home Secre- 
tary, Mr Maudling. With 
Defence Secretary. Lord Car- 
rington, he is putting into effect 
the last three of the four recom- 
mendations while research is 
going on into the production of 
a smaller cartridge. 

The committee began its 
investigation after it had 
reported on its inquiry into the 
use of CS gas in Londonderry 
during serious rioting on 
August 13 and 14. 1969. 

It concluded there was no 


evidence of people being incap- 
able of moving to a clearer area 
away from the gas, or that any 
illness develops that can b« 
directly attributed to the gas. 

Tbe new inquiry on which 
the committee Is reporting 
follows its own recommenda- 
tion that the medical assess- 
ment should be extended to all 
available knowledge on the 
actions of the gas so that Parlia- 
ment and the public are in a 
position to lake an informed 
decision on whether it should 
continue to be used. 

The committee says that the 
dose of CS gas that might be 
fatal is at least several tames 
that which produces intoler- 
able symptoms. There is no evi- 
dence that the young or elderly 
are especiallj- susceptible, nor 
that it affects pregnancy or 
leads to congenital abnor- 
malities. 

Tbe claim that it can pro- 
duce cyanide in the body, lead- 
ing to brain damage, is irrele- 
vant “ as these effects could 
arise only if it was injected into 
the bloodstream.” 

The report says there are no 
experimental indications that 
long-term effects like cancer 
might develop. “ but a more 
definite assessment of the risks, 
if any. of this occurring must 
await the completion of sur- 
vival experiments on animals 
still in progress." 

The possibility must be 
accepted that -inhaling CS gas 
may be followed by an acute 
exacerbation ** in some — hut 
not all — patients with chronic 
bronchitis, or precipitate an 
asthmatic attack. 

A rise in blood pressure 
caused by the gas might have ill 
effects in people with high 
blood pressure or arterial 
diseases, but there were no 
instances of this. Apart from 
these possible exceptions, there 
was no evidence of the gas hav- 
ing adverse effects on other 
illnesses.

As well as the fact that they both love the 
same countryside they’ve quite a few things in 
common. He’s just added another zoo acres to his 
prosperous 400 acre farm. She’s just opened her 
third boutique. So they’ve successful careers in 
common. 

And because they’ve both had to work hard 
for their money they’re determined to make their 
money work hard for them now. 

They’ve each chosen a Nationwide Share 
Account to ensure absolute security and a high 
yield on their personal savings. 

It's so flexible, so easy. They can pay in what 
they like^ when they like -up to a ma x i m um 


an hrifrf fin frt 


the Society. This is equivalent to a gross yield 
of over 8 ®o to people who pay tax. And they can 
get money out immediately if they want it, 
whether they need it for improvements, 
equipment, acquisitions, or any other purpose. 

Here’s another thing. They are both using 
their Nationwide Share Accounts to set aside 
money to pay their sun ax having found, like many 
surtax payers, that this is a better way of saving 
than the other methods available. 

Whether you are concerned with profitable 
short term investment, or the rapid build up of 
capital by regular monthly saving, Nationwide can

Motor 

strikes 


over 


Strikes at two big car and 
component manufacturers were 
called off yesterday. 

At Triumph Motors, Coven- 
try, 400 assembly workers who 
have been in dispute over piece- 
work rates on a new MG model, 
will return to -work today. The 
month-old dispute has at times 
affected 6,000 workers. A new 
company offer on piece rates is 
now to be tried out for two 
weeks. 

In Birmingham, full produc- 
tion will be resumed at nine 
Lucas factories today. Three 
hundred engineers who went on 
strike a month ago. accepted 
an improved wage offer yester- 
day. 

Chrysler UK announced yes- 
terday that 650 hourly-paid 
employees at their Luton fac- 
tors’ were to go on short time 
to avoid redundancy. A four-day 
week will start in mid-October 
and continue during November 
and December. Another S50 
production staff at Chrysler's 
Dunstable factory will work a 
four-day week during November 
only. 

Union officials irom Vauxhall 
Motors' three main works — 
Ellesmere Port, Luton, and Dun- 
stable — met in Chester yester- 
day to discuss their position on 
a threatened four-day week. 

More than 50 shopfloor 
workers from the Ellesmere 
Port factory picketed the meet- 
ing claiming they would not 
accept any redundancies or 
short-time working. 

Later, the Vauxhall joint ne- 
gotiating committee of union 
and management representatives 
talked for five hours, but at the 
end reported : “ No good news, 
no bad news." 

• Scuffles broke out between 
police and strike pickets at the 
British Aircraft Corporation's 
Concorde works at Filton, near 
Bristol, yesterday. Workers 
were jeered at and their cars 
were rocked as they tried to 
enter the gates to defy a half- 
day strike call against plans to 
make nearly 500 employees 
redundant

CID man 
sent 
for trial 


By our Correspondent 


A Cardiff detective and two 
other men accused of corrup- 
tion were committed at Cardiff 
yesterday for trial at Glamorgan 
Assizes. They were granted 
bail. Detective Micbael John 
Ellery, aged 29, of Cottreel 
Road, Cardiff, is charged with 
corruptly accepting from two 
men the loan of a car as an 
inducement for showing favour 
to them in relation to his 
principal's affairs. 

John Bravery (28), of Heol- 
y-Coed, Rhiwbina, Cardiff, and 
David Bratcher (26), of Whit- 
church Road, Cardiff, are jointly 
charged with corruptly giving 
Detective Constable Ellery the 
loan of a car. Reporting restric- 
tions were lifted at the request 
of the defence. 


Detained 
men lose 
appeals 


“There conies a stage when 
a Government cannot afford to 
wait until known . terrorists 
choose the moment to strike. 
Furthermore, intimidation has 
made it more and more difficult 
to get witnesses to give evidence 
against members of the IRA. It 
was dearly intolerable that 
they should be able any longer 
by this means to place them- 
selves effectively beyond the 
law.” 


The Appeal Court decided Mr Faulkner announced the

Lord Denning said the men 
were arrested by British troops 
after the Chief Constable of tne 
Royal Ulster Constabulary had 
derided their detention was 
necessary for the preservation 
of peace and the maintenance 
of order. Both men had first 
been taken to Magilligan camp 
and questioned by RUC officers 
before being transferred to 
Maidstone. The men made no 
complaints of violence, but 
contended that their detention 
was illegal. 

Mr Norman Tapp QC, for the 
two men, had said that if the 
court was against them on the 
jurisdiction point he did not 
know what course they would 
take. The decision was being 
taken in Northern Ireland.

,. .V ABBC PUBU CATION 9p 



L ORD WADE, one Of the 
four vice-presidents of 
the party, successfully put 
forward a motion affirming 
total opposition to ' the 
Government's Immigration 
Bill as being ** unneessary, a 
further sop to racialist preju- 
dice, and damaging to race 
relations tn Britain.” 

The motion called on mem- 
bers of both Houses to carry 
farther amendments to 
remove the worst excesses of 
the proposed legislation, 
"particularly those sections 
dealing with registration with 
the police, deportation and 
other threats to civil liber- 
ties.” 

He predicted a long battle 
over toe report stage of the 
Bill In the House of Lords 
next month. "We shall put 
down a large number of 
amendments at the report 
stage just in case the Govern- 
ment does not introduce our 
own amendments.” 

' He bad explained that 
amendments such as those 
calling for repatriation help 
to be restricted to those who 
asked for It, and for compul- 
sory registration with the 
police on arrival not to be 
made law, had been with- 
drawn at the Governments 
request In order to allow 
them to "think again.” . 

The BUI has yet to be given 


a report stage and third read- 
ing in the Lords before being 
sent back to toe Commons. 
Lord Wade said amid 
applause “ I would raise some 
doubt whether the Bill will 
get ■ into the statute book 
unless amended.” 

He got more applause when 
he recounted how the first 


well inteutiOE 


but had not 



LORD WADE 

Lords amendment to the BlU

fuL This asked for safe- 
guards * for Immigrants 
already in the country. The 
Government, he said, bad 
regarded the ariendment as 


oned, 1 

wanted it to he included. 
They had been pressed for a 
division and defeated. "We 
now have this very important 
principle in the Bill, Lord 
Wade said. 

He said it wonld be 
necessary for liberals to 
become " extremely watch- 
ful ” as the forthcoming 
parliamentary debates ap- 
proached. 

Mr Simon Bebdith, politi- 
cal vice-chairman of the 
National League of Young 
Liberals, said they should be 
prond of losing support in 
sueh a way. He hoped that 
MPs would stomp toe country 
from now until October to 
bring home -toe fact that it 
was not a Bill to tinker with. 

“ The Government, If it 
proceeds with a bill of this 
nature. Is going to be facet) 
with problems that it will no 
longer be able to control.” Mr 
Heath should be put in a 
position where he had to 
explain exactly what he 
thought toe effects of the Bill 
wonld be. 

Mr Dham Prem, chairman 
of the Standing Conference 
of Asian Organisations and a 
member of toe Liberal race 
relations panel, called for 
protest marches. He said : “ I 
am disappointed that we’re 
leaving toe whole issue ^to 

Parliament* 


" We can do something 
only at grassroots, in toe 
street, factories, and schools. 
Let’s send a message to toe 
immigrant community saying 
‘Out cause is your cause? 
Let’s march and march on 
until the day when we’ll have 
a fair and multiracial 
society ” When Powell spoke, 
he said, both Tory and 
Labour Governments 
listened. Powell had made It 
clear In a speech last week 
that he did not tike black 
families living here. Mr Prem 
feared that coloured people 
In this country could become 
the most underprivileged and 
depressed. 

Mr Son Hollis, general 
secretary of the Young 
Liberals, said liberals must 
continue to oppose toe Immi- 
gration Bill after it had 
become law, "We are told to 
respect toe law. But can we 
respect this law? We must 
act to obstruct the working of 
the Bin in every way after it 
has got on to the statute 
book.” 

Lord Wade, summing up, 
said people in Britain ought 
to be cooperating with other 
European countries: “The 
problem Is .going to be a 
white European one, not just 

a British one.” 

The motion was carried 

unanimously.

How to keep on 


t l AM. DEPENDS, Of 
course, on what you mean 
. by “dead." Jacqueline Suzann 
and Mario Puz may be wast- 
ing the typesetters’ time with 
a form which amounts to a 
piece of ancient history, but 
Jacqueline Suzann and Mario 
Puz and their publishers and 
their bank managers would 
be a hard team to convince 
-that there Is no life left in 
the product 

And there are dozens of 
free-fonn sallies, monthly, 
from the avant garde literary 
presses which are very much 
alive in terms Df ideas, but 
don’t have a hope in hell of 
selling more than a thousand 
copies to devotees. Most pub- 
lishers, therefore, preface any 
remarks about a dependable 
specific with a reassurance 


that the patient may not be 
all that ill ai 


ray. 

Seeker and warburg pub- 
lish less than 100 titles a year, 
of which less than half is 
fiction. Their fiction list makes 
money overall, but the balance 
is achieved by a delicate blend 
of half a dozen sure-fire sellers 
and a larger number nf 
worthy, near- highbrow long- 
shots. According to Seekers 
David Farrar something like 
the latest Michener novel will 
cover ten times the losses on 
a speculative first novel or 
scholarly translation. A con- 
scious policy of subsidy oper- 
ates in favour of writers who 
have talent but little commer- 
cial merit 


Farrar ato° believes in pick- 


ing out the potential long- 
term professionals from the 
general welter, and making 
them feel at home with the 
firm. "These ‘real* novelists 
should be paid far more.” he 
suggests. “ They should be 


engaged, given higher advances 
'did 


and should be made- to feel 
that an editor is really trying 
to help them with their 
careers. They should be made 
to fee! part of the firm — and 
this of course is much easier 
i j - a small publishing house 
like ours." 

(This line of benevolent 
patronage ought not to run to 
a monthly pay-cheque, Farrar 
thinks, although Seeker have 
used this approach, notably, 
and successfully, with Angus 
Wilson. Generally however, 
there’s a danger that a writer 
will have nothing to gain on 
publication, after his salary 
deficit has been deducted from 
royalties.) 

Finally, the novel might be 
bucked-UD by a crowd-puller 


tike the Booker Brize, says 
Farrar.xegrettiog that the first 
two winners did not have the 
potential for big sale*- 
although they were excellent. 

■ Tom MascMer, of Cape, is 
another editor who llkftsto 
hope that the Booker Prize 
will one day whip up some 
enthusiasm for the novel And 
he. too. inclines to the intan- 
gibles of the publishers role 
fa nurturing fiction — a 
“passion" for the 
esprit de corps at 
of production, and a shoulder- 

to-cry-on-cum-catalyst for the 

writer. 

He never ceases to pe 
amazed that successful and 
famous writers are constanuy 
wracked by feelings of In- 
security in the isolation of 
their work-rooms; and uUa i of 
one great man who, when 
offered a humble letter of all 
too inadequate, praise, kept 
the note at Ws bedside, and on 
the word of his wife, reads it 
carefully, frequently. 

“The growth of a relation- 
ship between an author ana 
his publisher has to be care- 
fully managed." says Mascmer.

But their main aim is.suii 
to change society through .the 
word. “I like. robust litera- 
ture. usually with a. political 
or social idea," says Miss 
Boyars . pointing ■ out -in as 
.“ Last Exit ’* served a social 
function in Brooklyn. 

“ Tm interested in new 
frontiers, both of ideas and 
fora, but there's no reason to 
suppose that the narrative 
style should not also survive. 
I don’t agree with Robbe- 

Grillet when he says we can t 
write in the manner of Balzac 
anv more. Solzenitshra writes 
that way, and his hovels are 
far from dead.” 

Working out on a 'more 
practical frontier, Caldet 
and Boyars have started pro- 
ducing prose by litho printing, 
which they already have used 
for the- sixty-odd volumes of 
their play script series. Setting

T ranslation in Britain is 
a depressed industry, com- 


pared with the situation in 
other countries. The most 
recent Unesco statistics (for 
1969) show that toe United 
Kingdom, with 788 translated, 
books published in a year, ’ias 
one of toe lowest figures of 
all the developed countries; 
Slovakia, for instance, pub- 
lishes more translations than 
toe UK. Of that total less than 
a third (228 titles) is what 
Unesco calls “ literature," 
i.e. fiction, whereas a half of 
the far greater translated out- 

6 ut in both Sweden and 
iolland is fiction. 

In relative terms, that is to 
say in ratio to the annual 
gross number of titles pub- 
lished, Britain comes even 
Ibwer down in toe inter- 
nationai league table. The 
country which translates the 
most books into English is toe 
United States of America, pub- 
lishing slightly over 2.000. 
Yet even that figure looks 
less imposing when compared 
with Spain, which publishes 
almost exactly as many trans- 
lated books as Britain and toe 
US put together. 

From what they reveal oi 
the direction of flow of trans- 
lation the Unesco figures 
are eloquent witness to the 
worldwide importance of 
English as a cultural medium. 
Thanks to Britain’s colonial 
past and to America’s present 
economic and political 
strength, English exerts a 
global influence that is out of 
all proportion to the number 
of people who speak it as 
their mother tongue. One of 
tbe consequences of this seems 
to be a much greater flow of 
translation from English than 

into it 


The translators 


by MICHAEL GLENN V 


EyreS 
Spottiswoode 



This imbalance may be a 
cause of the feeling that has 
gained ground in both Britain 
and America that somehow 
there is a kind of blockage in 
toe international literary pipe- 
line, and that for reasons of 
insularity, ignorance, and 
short - sighted commercialism 
there are many excellent 
foreign books which fail to 
penetrate Into the English- 
speaking market While it 
mav be a matter of opinion as 
to whether the problem is 
real, in recent years some 
efforts have been made to 
tackle it 

In the mldsixtles an insti- 
tution called the National 
Translation Centre was set up 
at the University of Texas 
with Ford Foundation money : 
it established translation 
prizes, offered cash stipends 
to translators engaged on 
valuable but initially uncom- 
mercial work such as neg- 
lected classics, and aimed to 
provide bridging finance for 
new work until it was recog- 
nised and taken up by a com- 
mercial publishing house. But 
this venture collapsed after a 
few years. 

Since then no comparable 
body has existed in Britain or 
the US — until March of this 
year, when the literature 
panel of the Arts Council set 
up a committee under Frank 
Kerroode to promote transla- 
tions into English from the 
world's nine other major 
languages. 

With advice from a panel of 


distinguished translators and 
academics, its aim is to find 
worthwhile books, handle the 
rights, appoint translators and. 
in effect, subsidise the trans- 
lations, until they show 
sufficient commercial return 
to amortise the subsidy. 
Owing to the intricacies of 
Arts Council finance, toe com- 
mittee may have to hang fire 
until jts fond has built up to 
an adequate level for it to 
start operating, which should 
be in about three rears' time. 

In such a literate society as 
ours it is, in fact, something of 
a mystery that a committee of 
this sort should be thought 
necessary at all It prompts 
one to wonder whether the 
relative paucity of translation 
into English perhaps reflects a 
kind of natural balance; it Is 
almost as if a culture with a 
very strong literary tradition 
has a resistance to outside 
influence and that translation, 
like water, will always find its 
own level

produce SF it is because 
they’re moved by the same 
spirit which produced Wellses 
“ Time Machine,” Huxley’s 
"Brave New World.” Orwell’s 
“ 1984 ” or Wilson’s “ The Old 
Men at the Zoo;” they happen 
to find certain SF elements 
useful for expressing their 
particular moral concerns. 
These writers include Brian 
Aldiss, J. G. Ballard. M. John 
Harrison. Charles Platt. Lang- 
Aon Johns and Americans like 
Thomas - M. Disch, John- Sladek 
and Harvey .Jacobs.

left the SF category behind 
. him is often more talented 
end sophisticated than the j 
majority of those who manage 
to ring the changes on that | 
other example of a declining i 
category, the English modern 
novel, but not many reviewers 
seem to have noticed. 

We've seen Brian AJ-diss 
turning to the comic social 
novel with “The Hand -Beared 
Boy” (Corgi, 25p) and “A 
Soldier Erect" (Weidenfeld, 
£1.50) and to political themes 
in “The Moment of Eclipse 
(Faber. £1-50). perhaps Ms 
best short story cottection for 
a 'long time, while J. G. 
Ballard’s experimental fiction 
in “The Atrocity Exhibition ’ 
(Cape, £1.05) defies any easy 
definition. 

An anthology edited by 
Langdon Jones. "The New 
SF" (Arrow, 25p), contained 
nothing that a confirmed SF 
fan would call SF. but was a 
showcase for some of the best 
original short fiction collec- 
ted since the war. It included 
work by Giles Gordon, George 
MacBetl* D. 31 Thomas, and 
tire painter Pamela ZoKne. as 
i weH as stories by writers 
I more closely associated with 
SF, such as AkHss. Dlscfa. and 
i SSadek- 

The interesting thing about 
the book was that stories by 
established SE writers were by 
and large less close to conven- 
tional SF than those by oon-SF 
writers. The book received 
virtually no attention when It 
first appeared; a long review 
by Angus Wilson was actually 
dropped from tfae “Observer" 
for reasons which remain 
obscure. The regular SF 
reviewers who do the ooca- 
I sional round-up of the category 
titles couldn’t cope with it and, 
i of course, the- majority of 
j ordinary critics didn’t feel it 
came into their sphere of 

f reference. 

But the signs at the moment 
are hopeful- Fewer of the best 
of these books are being 
treated as category fiction by 
literary editors and reviewers. 

M. John Harrison’s first novel 
“The Committed Men” (New 
Authors. £3.75), used the 
fajpiliar background of a post- 
apocalyptic future against 
which to make its points and 
was taken seriously by almost 
everybody. 

It’s j, shame, on the other 
hand, that Harvey Jacobs, one 
I of America’s sharpest and 
I wittiest short story writers, 
received no reviews whatso- 
I ever for his splendid collection 
of stories “The Egg of the 
Glak ” (Seeker and Warburg, 

1 £2 JO) when it was published 
! earlier this year. Perhaps the 
publisher is partly to blame 
for selecting the title story 
which is the slightest in the 
I collection and gives a mis- 
leading idea of what the reader 
might expect 

'Stories like “The Girl Who 
Drew the Gods border on 
science fiction, while the best 
story In the . collection. “ Dis- 
turbance of the Peace," ie a 
profound and complex explora- 
tion of the desperate fantasies 
of a New York bank teller. 

I recommend the book highly. 
John Sladek’s . u The Mfiller- 
Fbcber Effect” (Hutchinson, 
£1.75), a satire on technology- 
fetishism, received only one 
review in a national newspaper 
and that review seemed to miss 
tile author’s point entirely. 

I hope that next year we 
shall see more ana closer 
attention given, say, to Thomas 
M. Disch’s “334.” a social 
novei with the added perspec- 
tive of a near-future setting, 
about ordinary New Yorkers 
managing to live ordinary lives 
in a world which would seem 
hellish to us but which they 
accept (as people do) as per- 
fectly normal. J. G. Ballard’s 
new novel, provisionally called 
"Crash," wril have a present 
day setting and will continue 
to dp-finp. its moral themes in 
. tArm« of man’s relationship to 
[ his technological myths (and 
i to his automobiles in parti- 
cular). . 

| Some of the new SF novels 
might contain no SF at all. 1 
j speak from experience. It was 
only after I had finished my 
1 last SF novei that I realised I 
had included- less than 400 
words of what might reason- 
. ably be called science fiction. 

It wasn't - intentional ; it’s 
something that happens 
naturally during the process 
of selecting what you need 
for your theme and discard- 
ing what is useless. A good 
writer, after all, should create 
his own conventions. What- 
ever tiie best SF is these days, 
ft certainly isn't SF any more. 


AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF AN 
ECONOMIST, by Lord Rob- 
bins (Macmillan. £4 AO). 

T here are at least two 

Lionel Robbinses. One is 
'the devoted and loyal teacher 
and sensitive lover of the 
arts and Ideas, director of 
Covent Garden, the National 
Gallery, and prtutlcaliy every 
other national institution on 
the number 11 bus route 
except St Paul’s. The other 
is the admirer of businessmen 
and thBir governments, the 
devotee of free markets. 

Lord Robbins’s strengths 
are his energy, his feminine 
sensitiveness, his widcranging 
interests, and his deep ambi- 
tion. But be has, it seems from 
this book, an ambiguity in the 
face of authority. In principle 
he rejects power and loves 
freedom ; in fact, he is deeply 
attracted by it, and wants to 
roll over, spaniel-like, and be 
tickled by mea interior to him 
in wit. wisdom, learning, and 
cultivation. 

I have never met Lionel 
Robbins, though I have often 
seen him in his box at Covent 
Garden, and I saw him give 
evidence, patronising in 
character, and not successful 
in that context, to Lord 
Franks’s Commission on 
Oxford, a university he spent 
an unhappy time in and never 
understood. Bowra was 
memorable on him. 

Bis own report, now much 


condemned, was right about 
expansion, though be allowed 
himself to be misled on 
teacher training, and his 
team, to whom he was 
passionately loyal, might have 
done more to help. 

His book is deeply fascinat- 
ing. My reaction to it is 
ambiguous because he is him- 
self an ambiguous figure. Take, 
for example, the explanation 
that he gives of his fight with 
Keynes, over reflation io the 
slump. The Bad Robbins was 
totally wrong, and wrote a 
Billy book. Yet the Good 
Robbins admits it : “ ■ The 

Great Depression ’ which I 
subsequently wrote, partly in 
justification of this attitude, is 
something wbicb I would wil- 
lingly see forgotten." 

In the parts that I know 
about he is perceptive and 
accurate. I am thinking, 
especially, of Itis account of 
Dennis Robertson, whose own 
falling out with Keynes was so 
spectacular that he actually 
left Trinity for Audley End, 
which was like a limpet taking 
wing. 

But there is something lack- 
ing in Robbins's affectionate 
picture of Robertson ; it 
misses the bleak inner life, 
and the social tone seems to 
me ever so subtly wrong — 
and it is this that really 
needs spelling out. 

Two men of- similar proclivi- 
ties, both from Eton, fell out 
over the greatest intellectual 
issue of the century in the 



Lord Robbins : ambit****** 

social sciences. What a 
scenario of Micbael Hoi- 
royd. Robbins hints at it but he 
adds the -schmaltz that they 
might have kissed and made 
up. Perhaps. . . - 
So. when Lord Rohbins 
moves into fields where, 
knowing less personalty. I sec 
him keeping time with his 
head in bis box. it is the 
subtleties that 1 feel least 
certain about. He is wonder- 
fully funny about Beveridge 
and Mrs Mair. who ran LSE 
(according to what one is 
told) as a sort of opeV prison 
— tactics that failed in 
Oxford, needless to say, 
where the undergraduates 
danced round the quad on 
bonfire night, singing "The 


Old Grey Blare," while the 
Master had pneumonia. 

Lord Robbins's career is 
marked deeply by loyalty, 
especially to LSE, and to the 
arts. This has been accom- 
panied by some serious errors, 
not necessarily intellectual in 
origin, of which the diagnosis 
of the depression is perhaps 
the most grave, and also by a 
curious lack of judgment in 
one whose reputation rests 
above all on the possession of 
just this quality. But perhaps 
loyalty’, in people given to the 
use of the word judgment 
does indicate « kind of 
judiciousness. 

It is clear that he made a 
great contribution to London 
University. It is certain that 
he made and kept many loyal 
friends. He is a man of great 
influence, and of the influence 
that comes from passionate 
sympathies and antipathies. As 
a scholar who has done dis- 
tinguished work, he will, of 
course, be remembered in 
footnotes. In the arts he has 
a more permanent memorial, 
again as a man of influence 
and not a creator. 

Perhaps the oddest feature of 
this necessarily jc)/-re vela lory 
work is that its language is at 
times poor. Metaphors jar ; 
dich£s thud when he tries to 
be significant ; though the 
feline felicities (especially on 
one well-regarded economist) 
are Butlerian. Not a bad 
parallel, both negatively and 
positively.

THE BATTLEFIELD

To be a writer by p.j.kavanagh 


Vernon Scanned : being a poet 

Grave 

matters 

by MATTHEW 
COADY 

T HE CRIME Story, which 
has been defying its liter- 
ary grave diggers ever since 
Beeton's “ Christmas Annual ” 
offered its readers “A Study 
In Scarlet,” remains a stunning 
source of entertainment, a 
form of therapy and the point 
at which serious and popular 
writing most happily converge. 

Yet, just as the Great 
Detective has a faded air, the 

f ollce officer as hero is no 
onger the man he was.' Like 
the figures he pursues, he, too. 
is under suspicion. Not as an 
evil and brutalised cop but as 
the arm of a law which the 
youne tend to distrust and the 
middle-aged see as Ineffective. 
In a world fuH of threat, the 
kind of reassurance which his 
fictional adventures once so 
confidently proffered has lost 
some of its force. The police 
theme is still durable. It can 
no longer provide the frame- 
work for a moral fairy tale. 

The form’s practitioners 
remain divided on their 
objectives. The crane novel 
school, with its insistence on 
psychological depth, gains 
converts aSfoeit slowly. This 
was inevitable. As the locked- 
room surprises have ran out 
the crime writer has had to 
devote less time to puzzles 
and more to people. An essen- 
tially conservative genre is 
beg inni ng to liberate itself. 

’ If, at the highest levels Ross 
Macdonald and Patrica High- 
smith retain their pre- 
eminence, there is no shortage 
of acceptable recruits. What 
was once a British, American, 
and French preserve is now 
international. The skill with 
which Sweden's Per Wahloo 
an Maj Sjowail depict the 
desperate passions of ordinary 
men demonstrates that crime 
writing has far from exhausted 
its essential vitality. 

Although It may be flagging 
the puzzle story is by no means 
dead. It can still be done as 
Patricia Moyes brilliantly 
showed last summer in' “Who 
Saw Her Die.” Addicts who 
feel that (heir fantasies have 
never been adequately nour- 
ished since the death of Mar- 
gery Allingbam could well be 
revived through “Shroud For 
A Nightingale” by P. D. 
James. Both writers, along with 
Emma Lathen, Joan Fleming, 
and Ruth Rendell (a develop- 
ing talent), splendidly main- 
tain the distaff tradition in a 
crooked world. 

The thriller, much maligned 
but immensely hard to bring 
off with true distinction, pros- 
pers. By far the most interest- 
ing contribution has come 
jointly from Douglas Hurd and 
Andrew Osmond in books 
which have invested politics 
with a genuine air of 
excitement 

Crime fiction’s critical litera- 
ture has always been meagre. 
Next year a history of the 
detective story is expected 
from Julian Symons. In the 
meantime. Colin Watson — in 
“Snobbery With Violence”— 
has provided a light-hearted 
but fascinating survey off the 
social attitudes embedded in 
mystery stories over half a 
century. Here if it Is needed, 
is ample evidence of the 
growing maturity- oi the 
suspect form. 


THE TIGER AND THE ROSE, 
by Vernon Scanned (Hamish 
Hamilton, 12J25). 

SELECTED POEMS, by Vcmcm 
Scanned (Allison £? Busby, 
£135 ; paperback 75 p ). 

VJ H. AUDEN has insisted 
” • that poets should never 
write autobiographies and for- 
tunately the poet Vernon Scan- 
nell, after a hesitation, has 
taken no notice. He also has 
the good idea of interspersing 
his account of his past, his 
Then, with glimpses of his 
Now as he writes the book, so 
you are made aware of the 
carefulness of the man doubt- 
fully turning his life over in 
his hands. An interesting life, 
quite apart from the interest 
of his expression of it : 
soldier, deserter, professional 
boxer, prep schoolmaster^- 
(thc masters are discussing 
whether a particular boy has 
courage or not: they think 
Yes. " Ah I but " says the 
Major, “could he face cold 
steel? 

That's a story, but The 
Tiger and the Rose is not, 
unlike many autobiographies, 
a necklace of them. There are, 
thank God, no colourful 
Uncles, no memorable Aunts. 
All he puts down has tfae air 
of having chosen itself, as the 


subjects of good poems choose 
themselves somewhere below 
consciousness, because apt 
and essential. Four years of 
war, for example, are 
expressed (not compressed) 
in two experiences, and 
because the selection is right, 
this is enough. 

There is very little war, 
very little childhood. It is 
mostly early struggles (early, 
middle, and late struggles for 
that matter) modesty, pre- 
cisely put down. And here is 
another distinction of the 
book. Most accounts of the 
lives of writers have, around 
Chapter Nine, The Success, 
the uncertain chrysalis 
hatches into a household 
name. Here no such thing 
happens, the struggle con- 
tinues. and for this reason it 
is a much more real descrip- 
tion of what it is like to be a 
writer, to be on of that odd 
breed who. in spita of discour- 
agements outside and inside 
themselves, carry on trying 
to write, not for money or 
fame, though both would be 
acceptable. but simply 
because they must 

Towards the end of this 
gentle, entirely untrivial book 
there is an account, which 
could have been so dreadful, 
of the birth and death of a 
deformed child. If there was 
nothing else, this would prove 


what a writer Vernon ScanneJl 
is. But he makes no claims 
for himself. Looking back he 
discerns only one binding 
factor, hi s desi re to be a 
poet. He accepts there may 
be many readers who would 
say he “hasn’t a chance in a 
thousand years. ... I admit 
thev may be perfectly right. 
Zt is beside the point, which 
is that I hare lived, and will 
continue to live, as though 
the possibility were real.” 

It is real, as his Selected’ 
Poems show- He does not 
belong to the load-erery-rifl 
with-ore school, his 'poems 
are plain (not dull) with a 
clear beat, a clear story-line 
and are often rhymed. . He 
has marvellous phrases, 
“ marooned upon a small 
remorse" and insights. 

But on the whole he lacks 
the dazzle of MacNeice, of 
whom, oddly, he reminds me. 
As though to MacNeice’s 
Cavalier he plays russet- 
coated Captain. But. like Mac- 
Neice. some of his poems 
stand up solid as pieces of 
furniture. The unusually good 
blurb complains that Mr 
ScanneU has not received his 
deserved “ acclaim.” But why 
should poets want acclaim ? 
They want readers. Try 
“Talking of Death,” standing 
up in a bookshop, and see if 
you don’t want to read more. 


A SORT OF LIFE . by Graham 
Greene l Bodley Head, £1A0). 

OU begin at the beginning 


ana pamsia^uigi} m-uiu 
every detail. Or you can hang 
out, as it were, a flypaper and 
let memories cling to it as 
they come. ** An autobio- 
graphy,” Mr Greene writes, 
“is only a ‘sort of life’ — it 
may contain less errors of fact 
than a biography, but it is of 
necessity even more selective: 
it begins later and it ends 
prematurely.” 

In bis own story, be begins 
almost at the beginning— with 
a dead dog sharing his pram 
as the cadaver was conveyed 
from the road accident that 
claimed it to its resting place 
in the grounds of Berkham- 
sted School. He ends his story 
early, with the years of failure 
that followed the success of 
first noveL “Failure loo is 
death of a kind : the furniture 
sold, the drawers emptied, the 
removal van waiting like a 
hearse in the lane to take one 
to a less expensive destina- 
tion.” 

Between the death of the 
dog and the other, the memo- 
ries buzz briskly around the 
flypaper. Many that are cap- 
tured are left to die also, for 
this is a short book and, as Us 
author implies, an exceedingly 
selective one. As the distant 
past is probed, an incident 
recollected recalls in turn a 
more recent one, and though 
the pattern that results may 
occasionally and momentarily 
appear to be haphazard, every- 
thing in fact is linked ; every 
train of thought runs eventu- 
ally into an unidentified 
central junction. Is it Berk- 
hamsted School, where his 
father was headmaster, that 
lies at the heart of the 
matter ? Or God ? Or Russian 
roulette on Berkhamsted Com- 
mon? In the end, all three 
seem inextricably to mingle 
there. 

As a child, he played truant 
lazily reading in his father's 
summer-house for days on 
end, until a master, in sub- 
dued tones, inquired of his 


father, if the boy’s illness 
Showed signs of abating. He 
stole “ The Railway Magazine ” 
from W. H. Smith’s in Berk- 
■hamstiM Hish Street He 


hated the “ ink-stained nibbled 
desks ... a changing-room 
smelling of sweat and stale 
clothes, stone slairs. worn by 
generations of feet leading to 
a dormitory divided by pitch- 
pine partitions that gave 
inadequate privacy — no 
moment of the night was free 
from a noise, a cough, a snore, 
a fart” He ran away to Berk- 
hamsted Common, where he 
proposed to live off berries. 
After that, lie was sent to be 
psycho-anaJysed. 

For all his life Graham 
Greene has waged a war 
against boredom — a lonely 
battle, for few people offer 
sympathy to the bored, believ- 
ing the affliction to be one 
that with an effort can be 
overcome. Tfcis is not so. To 
suffer from boredom is to 
suffer from a disease for 
which too often there is no 
cure. Novelists invent out of 
boredom as much as out of 
curiosity, Greene suggests, but 
few novelists play Russian 
roulette in order to keep it 
at bay. or allow a fear of it 
to drive them to a leproscrie 
in the Congo, to the Kikuyu 
reserve during the Mau-Mau 
insurrection, the emergence- 
in Malaya and the French war 
in Vietnam. 

Perhaps indeed it was this 
fear that drove him into the 
Catholic Church, for in any 
man's life the facts and the 
truth are often at variance. ; 
On paper it seems that he took 
his brother's revolver to Berk- : 
hamsted Common because of 
the hopelessness of his love 
for a governess who was 
engaged to a man in Cables 
and Wireless in the Azores. 
And on paper it seems that 
he became a Catholic because 
. the girl he wanted to marry 
was a Catholic. But. as always 
with Graham Greene, there 
was more to it than that 

A Sort of Life is no great 
canvas of the times, stretching 
through one world war to the 
brink of another. It's a quiet, 
touching account of yet 
another journey without maps. 


An inside- out and upside-down Utopia 



NEW NOVELS reviewed by ROBERT NYE 

A lan SILLrrOE has always ~ 

been a. more awkwardly 
un classifiable writer than the ^ 
popular critical opinion 
would like him to be. The 
excellence of his ability in a 
particular direction is not in 
question — “ Saturday Night 
and Sunday Morning ” and 
“The Loneliness of the Long- 
Distance Runner” may now 
be seen to be whole-hearted 
attempts to create a genuine 
working-class novel or story 
from the inside. Those books 
have their flaws but they retain 
the freshness conferred upon 
them by sincerity, where the i 
efforts of some of Slllitoe's

dream logic — as when Edgar 
and a rapacious Nihilnnian 
female (who turns out to be 
the daughter of a ■ counter- 
revolutionary leader) share a 
hotel room and are assured 
that the room number equals 
the price, or as when 
Benjamin hums on a radio and 
it says, “ Good morning. 
Nihilists. Here are the 

lies...” 

Whether this is the novel 
SiUitoe has always seemed on 


the verge of writing, I’m not 
sure. Perhaps it is too much 
of a perverse joke. His atti- 
tude to his Nihilon is 
interestingly complicated by 
ambivalence — he disapproves 
of it -politically, but the satire 
is half-enamoured of the 
imaginative excesses it con- 
demns. The book, indeed, 
would be a mess were the 
writing not so taut and well- 
controlled. It provides a fasci- 
nating extra dimension to the 
world of a real writer, perhaps 
that is the most one should 
say after a single reading. 

The rest of the week’s 
offerings divide themselves 
uneasily into two camps : on 
the one side, imagination, on 
the other Art with its capital- 
A bat on. The Art first Janet 
Frame’s Intensive Care is all 
that one expects a Janet 
Frame book to be: sensitive, 
poignant admirable in its 
depiction of states of mind 
tbat border on the super- 
normal. It is also vitiated and 
for me ruined by overwriting. 
While Miss Frame stays in 
the know able world of a first 
World War soldier, Tom 
Livingstone, and his gradual 
education in the exorcism of 
his own experiences; she is 
plainly at the top of her form; 
but when the novel shifts to 
its other plane— the world of 
an autistic girl, living in a 
specific future, sitting under 
Tom's pear tree, waiting for 
the eugenic exterminators to 
take her away— the prose, 
overburdened by a sense of 
the difficulty of what it is 
attempting, descends without 
much ado to the condition of 
bad verse, making the hook 
hard to follow without at the 
same time convincing the 


reader that his headache is 
really worthwhile. 

Wallace Stegner’s Angle of 
Repose suffers from a com- 
parable self-consciousness, 
only here the constraint 
imposed is that of dignity — 
which can be dull when pur- 
sued as righteously as Ljnnan 
Ward, “Nemesis In a wheel- 
chair,” pursues it Lyman, 
grandson of Susan and Oliver 
Ward, an interesting enough 
couple, an artist and an 
engineer, tries to set the 
story of his forebears into the 
perspective of American 
history following the Civil 
War, and into a modern 
perspective. 

There are masterly crafts at 
work in this — Stegner’s evoca- 
tions of the American West 
are in themselves remarkable, 
though for ray own money I 
prefer him doing this straight- 
forwardly as in his earlier 
“ Wolf Willow." without the 
need for narrative at all. Still, 
there will be many readers for 
whom this is undoubtedly the 
best value in this batch : a 
slow tapestry of a book, with 
credible characters and an un- 
deniably impressive feeling 
for time and place. Bit 
tedious, though, like someone 
telling you all about their 
pioneering ancestors. 


Tedium never sets in with 
Clark Ashton Smith, a writer 
of weird tales who died ten 
years ago. having achieved 
fame with his fellow necro- 
mancers — “ None strikes the 
note of cosmic horror as well 
as Cbrk Ashton Smith.” whis- 
pered/sbouted H. P. Lovecraft 
in that disjrussively generous 
way of his, like Dracuia com- 
mending a younger vampire 
for having a sweet tooth. The 
trouble with the stories in the 
two volumes Lost Worlds aod 
Out of Space and Time is that 
they are. frankly, so bar- 
barously ill-written, a surfeit 
of imagination leaving no 
room for art of any kind. One 
begins to long for even a 
character without an out- 
landish name. 

For that reason, and one or 
two others on the side of 
quietness, the tale I liked best 
was “The Gorgon.” where an 
unnamed narrator is invited 
to look in a mirror af the 
Medusa’s head displayed by 
an old man jn a flat in London. 
Connoisseurs of the genre, 
more hardened to foul prose 
than the present reviewer, 
will find plenty else to inflame 
their imaginations and give 
them the cosmic horrors. 


Dock briefs by matthew coajdt 


I N prewar Britain murder 
trials commanded an 
abnormal interest. The florid 
advocate, the figure in the 
dock, and — above all — the 
gallows held the public in 
thrall 

Richard Gordon evokes this 
morbidity in The Medical Wit- 
ness (Heinemann, £2.10). His 
central figure is a star in the 
legal peepshow, a pathologist 
whose word alone is almost 
sufficient to secure a Guilty 
verdict for the Crown. He is 
also a monstrously arrogant 
human being who is ultimately 
destroyed by his sense of 
certainty. 

There are no puzzles save 
those posed by the heart, but 
here is a crime novel to 
remind us tbat the law and its 
apparatus can be fallible. The 
characters are drawn- with 
solid conviction, the trial 
scenes have an authentic ring, 
and the hook offers a fasci- 
nating glimpse of the world 
of forensic medicine in the 


context of a splendidly told 
tale.

CARDIFF 


Hugo Cole 


Berg’s Lulu 


tions were forced into action. The 
ensemble of the last scene was also 
superb— here again, music took charge. 

To end the opera Michael Geliot had 
Lulu’s life and death first described in 
captions, then mimed by 41 the animals 
of the menagerie" to two movements 
of Berg's lyric suite-^ageniously and 
wittily and with a fine coup de theatre 
at the end. 


review 


THOUGH BERG’S unfinished opera has 
been brought to England twice by the 
Hamburg opera Tuesday's production 
by the Welsh National Opera at the 
New Theatre, Cardiff, was the first by a 
British company in English. Lulu 
becomes a strikingly different opera 
brought home to us in this way ; in a 
small theatre, no longer in the convex 
tion that big stars. in large houses 
necessarily impose on the works they 
sing, and no longer distanced by 
presentation in a foreign language. 
Stripped, too, of much of the sensuous 
appeal that a big orchestra brings to 
the music. The Welsh Fhilfaarraonia 
under James Lockhart did very well by 
Berg's score, but most of the excite- 
ment and shock came from the stage 
rather than the pit. 

When Lulu was put on in Marseilles, 
children under 16 were forbidden 
entrance. The story is certainly, on 
the surface, horrific, with its insatiable 
heroine working through a long series 
of lovers, male and female, murdering, 
and finally being murdered by Jack the 
Ripper. On Tuesday, the prologue with 
the animal tamer introducing his 
human animals in Ralph Koltai’s huge 
steel cage was satisfyingly sinister. 
But with the beginning of the action, 
we seem to be in a world of comedy. 
Carole Farley, an American singer 
m akin g her first English appearance in 
the name part, played Lulu pertly and 
with a brittle charm that matched the 
chromium chairs of the set I often 
found myself thinking of her as 
Musetta ; her younger lovers were nice 
in a very English way, John Modenos as 
Dr Schon, her protector, was unimpos- 
ing, and very nearly a Robertson Hare 
sort of dupe. 

It is silly to be put off by mixed 
accents and words that sometimes give

Lulu sings In Lhe language of any nice 
magazine story heroine). Yet by bring- 
ing things too far out into the open the 
whole opera seemed at times to be 
trivialised, layers of elliptical meaning 
being reduced to one single obvious 
meaning. 

. In the second Act perhaps partly as 
we tuned in to this production^-the 
drama suddenly began to grip. In her 
monologue in the first scene, Carole 
Farley was able to pull out all the stops 
— yes, she was a real opera singer ; and 
aren't the finest moments of Lulu real 
opera of the grandest sort? The inter- 
lude between the two scenes which 
Berg had hoped to show filmed was 
brilliantly handled by Michael Geliot; 
mimed under distracting flickering 
lights after the manner of old films so 
that detail was lost and our imagina- 


FIVE YEARS might not seem a pro- 
pitious interval for relaunching an old 
office farce of fairly humdrum style 
and few situations. But it had a great 
success at the Shaftesbury in the days 
before “Hair” because the collision 
of two flamboyant comedians was able 
to turn a routine exercise into a viid 
improvised farrago of gags and ad 
libbing which blew gales of laughter 
for at least eighteen months. Now 
revived and if anything only slightly 
tidied up, it works the same happy 
trick once more at the Prince of 
Wales. Jimmy Edwards, bluff and 
blustering, a Franz Hals cavalier in 
pin stripes, a Falstaff of the export 
department whose authority and 
dignity is hopelessly undermined when. 
Eric Sykes, the dependable, put upon 
clerk, is wrongly suspected of sexual 
enterprise outside office hours on 
Wandsworth Common, and promptly 
becomes the darling of the typing pool, 
exchanging a gormless and grovelling 
ineptitude Tor -a spry, but unpractised 
rakishness. Repelling the advances of 
the office ladies, he nearly always 
seems to get caught in compromising 
situations with them athwart Mr 
Edwards's massive desk. “You seem 
to regard my desk as some sort nf 
launching pad" roars the office tyrant 
and the verbal wit never seems to take 
off much further than sallies of that 
order. Nor Is there variety of pre- 
dicament looked for in good farce. 
But the two buffoons strike sparks off 
each other in a way which the whole 
audience found irresistibly comic.

StilL in view of the fact that BBC-1

The billing was frank. “Fashion

NOW THAT Malcolm Arnold’s new 
Prom work has been dropped after only 
one experimental season, it was only 
just that he should have some sort of 
consolation prize. A new airing for his 
Sixth Symphony — the latest of the cycle 
completed four years ago — was timely 
at a Prom, particularly in a rousing 
performance by the BBC Symphony 
Orchestra under the composer. This -is 
described as a symphonic tribute to 
jazz, but happily Arnold has no sloppy 
ideas about m bring his media. In his 
tributes to Charlie Parker and others, 
he may work the old device of the 
ostinato rather -too heavily, providing 
harmonic and tonal echoes of lighter 
genres, but this is still uncompromis- 
ingly an Arnold work, as individual as 
any symphony he has yet written. 


The first and most successful of the 
three movements provides a surpris- 
ingly effective alternative to conven- 
tional symphonic argument in Its 
toccata tike progress. It is tough and 
well shaped. The slow movement— 
a tribute to an unnamed pop star— is 
tough too, for Arnold resists the tempta- 


victories. 

Written 1)7 a black writer it places 
Ram as the play’s centre point, a 
high priest of magic, who provides 
panaceas for all the domestic ailments 
of the local, black insecure. But 
Matura shows that while Ram revels 
anxiously in the manipulation of other 
people's lives there are others who prey 
upon him with the same succeess. 

A duo of hippies, wonderfully 
conveyed in a haze of ponderous stoned 
fatuity, visit him for the sake of his 
super cannabis and supply him with 
imfp.it sympathy. By allowing this duet 
to arrive in the action twice over, each 
time with identical dialogue, ( 
shopping and it was really nice ) 
Matura exposes them utterly. He also 
shows that Ram, immersed in lus own 
phoneyness fails to see that his wife 
longs for a retain to Trinidad. 

Tuesday’s performance failed to 
match the gentle manner of the writ- 
ing : so the evening showed a tendency 
to farce and caricature though Roland 
Rees’s production retains most of its 
admirable precision and attack : but in 
a play whose satire is affectionate and 
pleasurable to listen to and watch the 
danger is of overperfonnance and the

CARNAL KNOWLEDGE, SKSN DEEP new Elms reviewed by Derek Malcolm 



YOU WOULD THINK from 
the title that Carnal Know- 
ledge, Mike Nichols’s new 
movie at the Leicester Square 
Theatre (X), was some kind 
of sex instruction film. And 
you would not be all that 
wrong. What is on display is, 
in fact, a classy, intellectual 


to tell the film boys their 
business, since I don't know 
it any better than they do, but 
it doesn’t give the movie the 
best of chances. 


Now we simply can’t fail 
to notice. In this odyssey of 
two young dirt track riders 
the move, that. Robert 


on 


variant of the genre that tells 
you how to fail with women 


in spite of really trying. It 
is very smart, very knowing 
and very entertaining. But 
if it is in no sense a skin 
flick, it seldom goes more 
than skin deep. 


Jack Nicholson, Arthur Garfunkel and Ann-Margret in “ Carnal Knowledge 


? .• ' ' " v : ; _ * •

> ■■ ' 





Yet as an analysis of the 
current American battle of the 
sexes it has a formidable sur- 
face, brilliantly tit inciden- 
tally by Giuseppe Rotunno's 
camera. It follows two young 
men from their college days in 
the mid-forties, eternally on 
the make, into the seventies 
with their past strewn behind 
them Like a trail of dead alba- 
trosses. One of them is a 
romantic, the other a realist. 
Both of them fail, because 
they can't change an idea of 
women, formed in their teens, 
into any kind of recognisable 
reality. The realist (Jack 
Nicholson), who believes only 
what his genitals tell him, 
ends up virtually impotent. 
The romantic (Arthur Gar- 
funkel) journeys on, hopefully 
but ever more absurdly. 


__ ___ 'e, that. 

Bedford (Big Halsy) tries on 
Paul Newman’s bowler from 
“ Butch Cassidy,” that Mic hael 
Pollard makes the same wry 
faces he made in “Bonnie 
and Clyde” and that “Easy 
Rider * is writ large in the 
structure of Sidney Furie’s 
movie. The whole formula — 
and formula it certainly is — 
creaks under the weight of 
its antecedents, which makes 
for doubts that are never 
really assuaged. 


Candice Bergen, Ann-Mar- 
gret and Rita Moreno are the 
women mostly involved and 
they are not very comforting 
specimens, which may ex- 
plain why some regard the 
movie as anti-feminist. I 
don't, since the men so richly 
deserve them. - If ever there 
was a pat reason why Ameri- 
can women behave as they 
do. Nichols explains it by 
pointing at the males. What 
else is open to them, bras or 
no bras? 


Redford, almost perma- 
nently cleaning his teeth with 
a toothbrush, is cast as the 
tearaway swinger who is 
really a loser and Pollard as 
the shy flop who wins out at 
the end. Then there's Lauren 
Hutton as the hip girl who 
makes Big H come clean and 
little F go dirty. There is 
also a deal of cool dialogue 
which 1 won't repeat since it's 
been repeating on me since I 
heard it The movie isn't 
badly made, with some nice 
playing, particularly from 
Noah Beery and Lucille Ben- 
son as Dad and Mum Fauss. 
But it might just as well be 
called “Little False and Big 
Pansy ” for all the mileage it 
makes in the mind. 


On this level the film is 
- brilliantly done, with a 
bright screenplay from 
Feiffer which is executed 
with great skill, even by 
Ann-Margret and particularly 
by Nicholson — " For God’s 
sake.” he says to her at the 
conclusion of the best fight to 
the death In the film, “I'd 
almost marry you if only 
you’d leave me.’’ It is 
exactly what happens. But 
the question “why?” isn't 
asked enough and when it is 
the answers are glib. “The 
Graduate” all over again? 
Not quite, since Nichols has 
matured and broadened 
simply as a film-maker. But 
he still lacks that necessary 
depth without which his 
gimlet eye skims a little too 
slickly for comfort over us 
all. 


Willard (Carlton, X) is cur- 
rently grossing more than 
“ Love Story ” in America. 
One is surprised but de- 
lighted. It is not a very good 
movie, but at least it isn't 
made of treacle. It’s about a 
young man (Bruce Davison) 
who has a domineering mum 
(Elsa Lancaster), a wicked 
boss (Ernest Borgnine) and a 
gentle soui who is gradually 
corrupted by the pushing nas- 
tiness around him. His only 
friends, in fact, are a posse 
of rats he finds at the bottom 
of the garden. He calls his 
favourites Socrates and Ben. 


Little Fauss and Big Halsy 
(Cinecenta 2 and 4, X) must 
have looked fresher when it 
was first made. The reason it 
has taken so long to get here 
is largely because 41 Love 
Story ” has blocked Para- 
mount’s chief West End 
showcase and because the 
company's quarrel with the 
British circuits before that 
meant that, were it shown 
in London, there would have 
been too long a delay for the 
provinces. Far be it for me 


It is not long before he' 
uses them, and their extra- 
ordinarily quick - breeding 

friends, to take revenge— first 
on his boss at a garden party 
and then, on his mother’s 
death, in more deadly ways. 

I won’t ruin the plot for you 
further, except to say that it 
is easier to- identify with the 
rodents than with any. of the 
humans on display. They are 
excellently trained by Moe Di 
Sesso in Daniel Mann’s rather 
ridiculous horror movie, culled 
from Stephen Gilbert's novel 
“Ratman’s Notebooks,” and I 
am led to believe that they 
have so taken audiences that a. 
future film is planned star- 
ring Ben. Perhaps he will 
nibble Ali McGraw to death 
and her “ prepple ” to death 
and thus get the best of both 
worlds. 


Derek Malcolm will 
review Blind Terror and 
A Gtmfight on Saturday.

SANDERSON’S new Triad Collection 
of wallpapers and fabrics, announced 
this week continues the useful policy 
of coordinating wallpapers and fabrics 
-o that they can be easily matched 
up with each other. The “new" 
designs include Interesting revivals— 
a recolouring of a block designed by 
William Morris, a revival of an art 
nouveau design, and one band-printed 
Block called “Oranges and Lemons.** 
Sanderson can . offer ready-made 
curtains to match, but now M clin lock 
has been called in to supply matching 
bedspreads and eiderdowns, and 
Sunway to supply matching roller 
blinds. In other words, if you like, for 
example, ' a dose knit floral design 
caned- Bonheur or a more open patch- 
work called Patchouli, you can use it 
for almost every surface in the room — 
though the result might be somewhat 
claustrophobic: 

The development of coordinated 
wallpapers, .and fabrics, something 
suggested, by. 'design critics for many 
years, makes it much easier for many 
people to redecorate their rooms. This 
is borne but by Sanderson’s Colour- 
plan. For £1, the customer receives 
a sheet on which to fill in details of 
the room needing decoration, the 
existing furniture, colour preferences, 
whether plain or patterned wall- 
papers and fabrics, and samples ’ of 
furnish in gs like carpets which are not 
going to be changed. He then receives 
a suggested room scheme; with small 
cuttings of wallpaper, curtain, and 
upholstery fabrics, and suggested 
paint shades. The response to the 
Colourplan showed Sanderson how 
‘ people there are who. in spite 


ol all the advice given by the 
magazines, still need help when 
redecorating their rooms. 

Coordinated collections of wall- 
papers and fabrics clearly help the 
public, but they also help companies 
like Sanderson which produce a vast 
array of designs and are constantly 
looking for new ways in which to sell 
them. Sanderson, for example, which 
began life as an importer of French 
wail hangings in Soho Square, London, 
in 1860. is now part of Reed Inter- 
national and is the biggest manufac- 
turer of wallpapers and fabrics in the 
South of England. Yet; in spite of 
its longevity, the company is now 
anxiously reappraising its policies to 
meet the rapidly changing fashions 
and habits of the 1970s. This has 
already led to the classic move of 
adopting a new housestyle — based on 
Royal Purple as the house colour and 
Helvetica as the main typeface, with 
the single name Sanderson replacing 
Arthur Sanderson & Sons Ltd. — the 
closure of most of its own retail' out- 
lets (besides London, only Exeter now 
has a Sanderson showroom), and the 
economies now being carried out at 
the Berners Street showroom, where 
the showhousp has been abandoned 
and one whole display floor is being 
closed down. 

The pity of it is that there seems 
to have been little reappraisal of the 
company’s attitude towards design. . 
The weakness of the Triad Collection 
is that it is too easy: nearly all the 
designs in fabrics are either repeats 
of the wallpapers or modified versions 
of them, usually with a choice of up 
to three different colourways. The only 
real variation is a plain wallpaper based 


on the predominant colours of the 
matching patterned paper. This means, 
as I have suggested, that using the 
Triad Collection extensively is almost 
certain to produce a claustrophobic 
effect : and the only way to avoid that 
is to produce a range of coordinated 
wallpapers and fabrics where the 
designs are complementary but 
different. This is a much harder 
exercise, which Sanderson has failed 
to do. 

The trouble is. of course, that 
Sanderson is too big : with something 
like 3.000 fabric designs alone, it has 
a foot in almost every camp there can 
possibly be, and it needs a very 
courageous management to define the 
camps exactly and then try to deal 
with each of them separately. In the 
case of Sanderson, moves have been 
made in this direction, since it still 
retains the Palladio range of wall- 
papers for the contract market (which 
it acquired when it became part of 
Wall Papers Manufacturers Ltd.), 
and recently introduced the Young 
Sanderson Set which is aimed at 
oeople between 19 and 35. 

But as the Triad Collection clearly 
shows, most of the company's activi- 
ties remain very broadly based to 
appeal to as many people as possible 
This inevitably leads to compromises 
— a much bolder approach is needed 
if. aided by its new policy of having 
shops within shops, its advisory activi- 
ties such as Colourpian, and the sheer 
-weight of its size, Sanderson is to 
raise its design standards right across 
the board and. by doing so, retain 
the leadership it acquired when, SO 
years ago, it bought many of the 
Moms blocks and kept bis wallpapers 
in nroduction.

0J3N AKLOTT celebrates two sur viving independent wine merchants 




-OFF-LICENCE chains controlled 
the ' big brewing . and distilling 
sell most of the wine drunk 
in England. This means that many of 
the rapidly increasing, number of wine 
drinkers in the country hardly ever 
buy from a private wine merchant ; 
Indeed many of them regard him as In 
the same remote class as the bespoke 
tailor. It also means that, since the 
days when wine-buying was smaller, 

; the emphasis has changed from 
(individuality towards the acceptance of 
a Brand Xunlf ormlty. 

There is no typical wine merchant. 
Their numbers shrink yearly as more 
are bought up by the chains: the 
survivors have varying merits. In 
truth their enemy is less the multiple 
wine store than -the supermarket 
which, with the repeal of retail price 
maintenance, seized much of the wine 
merchant's rapid turnover trade in 



: :::■&*** 


.business hr buy and keep slow-selling 
wine in cellar until it was mature. 

. The undercutting of" those prices 

enforced the closure or takeover of 
many independent vintners, some of 
' " ' whom, especially in the provinces, had 
»soid the best wmes obtainable in their 
rdistricts. Those who remain have a 



tenacity of purpose reflected in a Germany as well as the best ports and 


combination of expertise, understand- 
ing of local Remand, and an individu- 
ality the chains cannot provide. There 
is no typical independent wine 
merchant, but two of contrasting 
character are Whitwams, in the Old 
Market Place at Altrincham, on the 
Chester side of Manchester, and Turn- 
bull’s, of Church Road, at Hove, on 
the Hampshire side of Brighton. 

Whitwams is umbered black and 
white. It was a chandler’s shop as long 
ago as the seventeenth century and is 
still part of an individualistic grocery 
store. Tony Littler inherited it from 
his father, and bis son works In it The 
eldest, as well as running the business, 
was a writer and photographer who 
shortened his name, Arthur Littler, for 
a pen-name to “Artit.” His son has 
used that title for the Wine Society 
through which he meets wine-drinkers, 
airs ideas about wine and, ultimately, 
sells his wares. The society’s annual 
banquet offers unusual fine wines. 

Last month the stock, in the warren 
of cellars under his shop, in bond and 
stored overseas, ran to 17,844 bottles of 
wine — excluding spirits and beers. 
Whitwams flourishes because Arthur 
fattier - encourages, informs, and 
creates wine enthusiasts, and goes to 
considerable pains to meet their needs 
While he cannot match chain prices, 
he stocks reliable cheaper lines and 
keeps a generous choice of the classic 
growths of Bordeaux, Burgundy, and 
*ae bt 


sherries. Thus be stocks Lebegue’s 
French Country Wine range at 69p; 
Spanish red, and sweet or dry white at 
60p;» Macon Superieur at 70p; 
Bordeaux Blanc, 70p ; and a Medoc at 
73p. Chateau-bottled Picbon Longue- 
ville Baron 1961 is £2.75; Lafite 
Rothschild 1957, £6; Brane Cantenac 
1962. £2; English bottled la Tour 
Figeac 1966. £1.40: and Langoa Barton 
1962, £L35. 

His additional strength stems from 
his study of wine and the fact that by 
buying much of his stock in a group of 
14 other independent merchants he can 
keep some costs low. Among his 
unusual items are a white Chateau- 
neuf ; the Gaulin Americano, and 
Chambfiry. He is an advocate of 
Alsatian wine, which he considers 
neglected : his Reisling Seigneur 

d’Alsace is £L.15p; his Gewurtz- 
traminer Auslese, Reserve Excep- 
tionelle, Jean Huge! 1964, £2.30: and 
the Gewurtztraminer Beerenauslese 
Reserve ExceptioneUe Jean Hugel 
1959. £4. His association with the 
similarly placed vintners is reflected in 
his Chateau Cantegrive (Margaux) 
1964 at £1.10 and Chateau Romonet 
1967 at £1.05, two acceptable bourgeois 
clarets of which the group bought 
almost the entire output 

Albert — “ Tommy ” of course — Atkins 
became Mr F. J. Turnbull’s office boy 
in 1925; after his employer died in 
1937 he was made manager and, now 


a director, he still runs the family- 
owned business at Hove. Within a 
short saunter of his shop there are 20 
establishments, from supermarkets to 
off-licences, who undercut him on 
quick-selling lines. He remains in 
competition for three main reasons. 
His stock is immensely wide; while be 
does not disdain cheap drink, he 
considers the enthusiast ; and 
he never passes on a rise in tax or 
production cost to his customers so 
long as he has stock bought before the 
increase. 

His stock-list — a hand-written book 
available to the interested on request— 
is impressive. Under the heading 
“ Red Wine " It lists 42 clarets. 37 
burgundies. 6 Rh&ne, 11 other French, 
11 Italian, five Spanish, three Portu- 
guese, three Yugoslav, two German, 
two Austrian, and one each from 
Hungary, Switzerland. Rumania, 
Bulgaria, Greece, and Chile. The 133 
liqueurs include seven different cherry 
bandies and seven Cura^aos. There 
are 29 minerals. 16 lagers. 69 sherries, 
136 white wines. He is the only wine 
merchant 1 know who stocks two kinds 
of Chinese brandy (the Chinese 
restaurants buy it”): sake and green 
tea liqueur are commonplace sales for 
him. In the temperature-graded cellar 
there are ones and twos of other exotic 
liqueurs and venerable sherries, stocks 
too small for the list there too, is 
Chamberyzette. the rare Alpine-straw- 
berry flavoured vermouth. 


Last year’s stocktaking credited 
Turnbull’s with almost £25,000 worth 
of drink, much of it unusual enough 
for most wine merchants to call it 
unobtainable. He supplies rarities and 
oddities to the trade in the area and, 
while he is no man to utter slogans, he 
*iJI admit, ** If we haven’t got it they 
will have to bo to London for it" He 
and his shop assistant, Mrs Darling, 
are enthusiastically knowledgeable 
about their wares : only they know 
where to locate the odd, dusty bottles 
of German fruit brandy and such. And 
they are not averse to an impromptu 
tasting. 

Mr Atkins has been scrupulously 
honest about bis refusal to add 
increased costs he did not incur. The 
concession does not last long in the 
ease of the spirits and cheaper wines 
(“ roost of the people who buy wine 
here every week buy cheap wine : we 
have been selling a lot of Moroccan 
lately”). On middle bracket wines, 
such as chateau bottled Montrose 1961, 
£2. Chateau Siran and Chateau 
Musset, both 1959, at £1 and 94p, it is 
still, apparent. Has this attitude made 
him fresh customers ? “ I’m not sure : 
the public are very fickle : but when 
we had done it often enough to show it 
was genuine, some casual buyers 
became regulars.” He is inclined to 
think that willingness to deliver — his 
one van and vanman are busy all day — 
is a more important asset in these 
days of urban cash-and-carry.

MARK BOURNS meets 
Gwynneth Hemmings 

GWYNNETH HEMMING S has a 
typically British, faith in the coffee 
evening and justifiably, for it was a 
coffee evening at Llanfair Hall, near 
Caernarvon, that set her on her way 
to the conference she has been organ- 
ising on schizophrenia (at the Church 
House, Westminster on September 
28. 29). 

The Welsh coffee evening netted £14. 
Individual fees for the American 
specialists to the Schizophrenia Con- 
ference come to £240. But Chat is the 
sort of credibility gap that Mrs 
He mmin gs is used to bridging since 
she founded the Schizophrenia Assoc- 
iation of Great Britain eighteen 
months ago. Today she is its secretary. 

Gwynneth H emmings’s interest 
arose from her own husband’s illness. 
A Ph.D., he was to meet his future 
wife in post-graduate work at the 
University of Wales. Bangor, where 
he is still engaged on bacteriological 
research. They had five children. Then 
came the revelation. 

From lone experience Mrs Hemmings 
knows the fears when drugs are no.t 
taken; of the daytime lethargy, and 
night timp activity of the schizophrenic 
patient She knows “the terrifying 
family rows . . . the listening behind 
the kitchen door six months for the 
coming breakdown.” Well it is all over 
now. And her husband is her greatest 
help. He gives her advice and types 
agendas for the Association. The 
children are grown, and at school or 
university, and relieved of her every- 
day care, early last year Gwynneth 
Hemmings set herself to back her own 
ideas — that the treatment of schizo- 
phrenia needed a biochemical 
approach. “There are 300.000 known 
sufferers. But with one woman, in nine 
and one man in fourteen affected by 
some mental trouble, the number 
must be higher,” she says. 

Early on. the warning came from 
the medical men — “whatever you do 
about starting an association, don't 
upset the psychiatrists.” But Mrs 
Hemmings wanted a chemical line 
taken; above all, she wanted contacts 
with patients. She wanted the disease 
brought into the open. “ Schizophrenic 
sufferers are the social untouchables 
that TB patients were a generation 
ago.” So, with a small advertisement 
In the paper, she began the Associa- 
tion. Interest flowed in like a torrent 
everything was answered though some 
advertisements brought in over two 
hundred letters; and mostly from 
patients themselves. 

. The Hemmings family hare now 
lived 18 years at Llanfair Hall, 
occupying Ty*r Twr, the tower wing, 
built from wayleave money from the 
Caernarvon railway last century on 
the flank of the much older mansion. 
The large square lounge has become 
office, with both filing cabinets now 
fulL The room overlooks the Menai 
Straits in the serene green parish of 
Llanfair-iscoed — literally under the 
wood, but called, where- the hills bow 
to the sea, Llanfair-under-heaven. 

The conference apart, Mrs Hem- 
mings’s latest venture is a questionnaire 
asking patients about their illness, 
including any incidence of migraine 
or mongolism in the family. Sixty 
replies came back by two posts. “ and 
already some connection with migraine 
could be seen, though it will all have 
to be gone through.” 

The coming conference at Church 
House now includes 17 medical spec- 
ialists. many giving their services free, 
and coming from London. Liverpool, 
and Edinburgh universities; and from 
Sweden, Denmark, and America. 

Address is: The Secretary , Mrs 
Gin rnnet h Hemminps, Schizophrenia 
Association of Great Britain, Llan- 
lair Hall, Caernarvon. (Telephone 
Port Dinonric 379.) 

The Association costs £1 a year to 
join, cud includes a free ticket 
( othenrise £3) to the Church House 
conference. Bean’s Yard, West- 
minster , on September 28 trod 29. 
Anyone unable to afford the £1 
membership should apply to the 
Association for a free ticket

IT IS NO surprise to hear that some 
managements are already making 
plans to evade or circumvent the 
Equal Pay Act when it comes into full 
effect in December .975. My own 
employer has already indicated that 
he has no intention of adhering to the 
law at that, or any other date. And 
in this case it is not a type of work 
which is carried on 1 by large numbers 
of female employees, where there 
would be a real financial burden to 
the employer in implementing the 
Act: it is in fact the office of a fairly 
large engineering works, where only 
about a dozen women at most are 
dping “men’s work” out of a work- 
force of say 250. 

These Women are on threequarters' 
of the men’s rate, and are not con- 
sidered for promotion, to senior staff—

supervised by men who are not only 
not equal In. attainment but in 'many 
cases- -very much 'ulterior in ability

- The Act is to some extent superflu- 


ous in respect of enlightened rianage- 
ments — but it is the backwoodsmen 
of industry, meant to be affected by 
it, who will need a rost stringent 
enforcing authority, and possibly puni- 
tive penalties, to prevent the. inten- 
tion of the Act being wholly negated.

Rich nations and poor 


The poor countries of the world may be 
forgiven a wry smile at the frantic comings and 
goings of the finance Ministers of the rich 
countries. Financial crises are nothing new to the 
poor nations ; they are more a way of life. Even 
so, it is all too certain that- the economic plight 
of the developing countries does not loom large in 
this week's discussions of the Group of Ten in 
London, nor will it at the International Monetary 
Fund meeting at the end of the month. But 
there can be no genuinely international solution 
to the present complex monetary, trade, and 
economic problems which does not cater for the 
developing nations. 

Just how serious the plight of many poor 
countries has become was spotlighted by the 
report of the World Bank and the International 
Development Association this week. The amount 
of genuine development aid reaching the poor 
nations is slowing down. Rapid price inflation in 
the rich countries also devalues that aid because 
the poor cannot buy so much with it. In place 
of genuine governmental aid many poor countries 
are having to depend on high interest loans which 
increase their indebtedness. Already a country 
like India has to commit a fifth of its export 
earnings simply to repay interest on past loans. 
But unless the poor nations can increase their 
imports they will not be flble to modernise or 
industrialise their own economies. 


Beyond that, their problems continue. What 
point is them in the poor countries industrialising 
if they are then denied access to the markets of 
the rich ? The benefits of aid are too often can- 
celled when barriers are put up against the export 
products of the poor nations. This year Britain 
imposed a 15 per cent tariff on imports of cotton 
textiles from the Asian Commonwealth. And what 
arrangements will he made for these countries 
when Britain enters the Six? It is also a fair 
bet that the great debate, due to resume in the 
House of Commons next week, will be more con- 
cerned with the price of butter or the status of 
ster ling than it will about ensuring that countries 
like India, Pakistan, and Ceylon are granted long 
term duty free access to the enlarged community 
for their agricultural and manufactured exports. 

Of course the politicians reply that all these 
are matters for future negotiation. But will not 
the whole matter be quietly forgotten as soon as 
practicable ? The same applies to the talk about 
international monetary reform. Such reform, if 
it is to be real, should lead to a much bigger 
distribution of financial reserves to the developing 
countries which are most in need. But will it ? 
The economic concerns of the rich countries are, 
at present, dangerously parochial. That is why 
the debate about the future of world trade and 
finance cannot be left solely to the Finance 
Minister s and the bankers. 


—and nature adds its toll 


Nature has its own ways of contributing to 
man-induced poverty. In recent weeks some of 
the worst monsoons in years have hit Asia and 
the Far East. Cruelly, they appear to have 
afflicted North Vietnam, India, and East Pakistan 
hardest — as if these countries did not have enough 
problems as a result of military operations. 

On the 26th anniversary of the founding of 
the North Vietnamese republic, the Prime Minis- 
ter. Pham Van Dong, said the north of the country 
had “ been affected by a very big flood, even 
bigger than that of 1945 which was a catastrophe.” 
The floods and famine of that year are believed 
to have cost one million lives. Since then the 
Prime Minister has given an inkling of the horrors 
of these floods. He instructed his people to fight 
against disease, to protect houses and goods, and 
to “ punish severely smugglers, thieves of public 
property, speculators, and hooligans.” The floods 
came at the transplanting stage of the second rice 
crop of the year. They have smashed the dikes 
protecting the food-growing areas of the Red 
River delta and will disrupt industrial projects 
in the area. Some have said that, ironically, the 
damage is greater than that caused by American 
bombing. It has come when economic recovery 
from those operations was building up. 


Humanitarian concern must prevail over other 
considerations. 

In India and Pakistan, as in Vietnam, the 
monsoons are an annual event — but with impor- 
tant differences. The disasters are magnified by 
the overpopulation. They are given a further 
dimension by the nature of political discontent 
On the human level the effects can be listed too 
easily. Bridges will be smashed, trucks stranded, 
and villages and refugee camps reduced to quag- 
mires. Disease and death are the inevitable atten- 
dants of inhabitants weakened by malnutrition 
and hunger. Flooding may ensure that the race 
against famine in East Pakistan will be lost. The 
flood damage in the northern Indian provinces 
of West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Orissa 
has been calculated at £220 millions. This is on 
top of the cost of the millions of refugees from 
East Bengal 

One of the Awami league's motives for gain- 
ing control in East Pakistan was to do more 
about the flood control which the Government in 
the West had ignored. The cyclone disaster of 
last year emphasised this. Political confusion has 
increased with the size of the human misfortunes. 
The two currents swirl round in a vortex as 
damaging and disheartening as the floods them- 
selves. 


Ghettoes in the making 


Too many British cities are the enemies of 
those who live in them. At Scarborough yesterday 
the Liberals raised a shout of protest at conditions 
in the still-black Northern towns. Mr Lishman 
of Manchester reminded Liberals from the 
fortunate South that the houses in which many 
Northerners live — and the communities in which 
their houses stand — are not measurably pleasanter 
now than they were twenty years ego. Mr David 
Steel quoted (from a Birmingham Centre of 
Urban Studies Survey) some fearsome contem- 
porary facts about Glasgow and Clydeside. Three 
thousand families, out of the 50,000 on the 
Glasgow waiting list for housing, have been living 
in hope for 15 years in dwellings without baths, 
showers, or hot water. And Mr lishman said that 
in Burnley last year respiratory disease killed as 
many people as all types of cancer. 

Squalor on this scale shortens life and 
degrades it. One result is unavoidable ill-health. 
Another can be resentment, alienation, and the 
sort of violence which now haunts the cities of 
America. The housing problem in cities ought to 
command the first concern of politicians If only 
because it ought to frighten them. It ought to 
frighten them because the worst areas are 
inhabited by the poor or the very poor. They 
live in squalor because they cannot afford not to. 
The environment to which poverty condemns 
them is a social ghetto, even if it is not a racial 
one. 

This is one of the main findings of Mr 
Anthony Crosland’s Fabian Pamphlet published 
yesterday (“ Towards a Labour Housing Policy " ; 
Fabian Society ; 20p) and it leads him to reject 


as wishful thinking the Government’s, faith in the 
ability of free enterprise to solve the main housing 
problem. 

“A free market,” Mr Crosland says, “is 
wholly irrelevant to the most urgent problem since 
the homeless and overcrowded are generally poor 
people who could not conceivably afford the 
market price of decent housing. Similarly with 
slum clearance and replacement — working class 
families could not afford rents which would cover 
the economic cost of acquiring, demolishing, and 
rebuilding whole areas of substandard housing.” 

This is the centre of the problem. If, as the 
Birmingham survey suggests, 40 per cent of the 
heads of households in Glasgow had a take-home 
pay of less than £10 a week the Government’s 
“fair rent” proposal for council housing will 
simply mock at Glasgow for being poor. The 
people who need rehousing most are those least 
able to afford either to move to a leafy suburb, still 
less to pay for their own rehousing in an expensive 
city centre where their work is needed. The 
rent rebate system, which involves a means test, 
ought to ensure that the urban poor do not 
get poorer. But it will not solve the housing 
problem. The very poor — many of whom are 
immigrants as yesterday’s Select Committee report 
shows — will continue to concentrate in privately- 
owned urban slums because they cannot afford to 
move. These people ought to be rehoused first 
at rents they can afford. If a community pays a 
man less than £10 a week the community cannot 
expect an economic rent from him. But if he is 
forced to continue to live in a slum he will turn 
against the community. No society is just unless 
there is shelter as well as food. 



SALMON 6 CO BRADFORD VQRKS- LABELS 


A COUNTRY DIARY 

NORFOLK : Sunrise over the fen on these au tumn 
mornings brings transient splendour to a realm of 
dew-wet reeds and a lingering cloak of mis t. Through 
a haze of rose which turns to gold, countless geo- 
metric webs of spiders bridge darkling gaps, glittering 
and opalescent. Spear-leaves and drooping purple 
reed-plumes are beaded with silver and the pincushion 
umbels of angelica are pricked out with a million 
diamond points of light Tassels of hemp agrimony 
and magenta spires of loosestrife achieve a bright- 
ness and perfection which beautifies them, while white 
bellbines shine with the pallor of fading stars through 
the morning vapours. There is a scent of water mint 
distilled from the night The air is so still that even 
the gossamer does not tremble. The reed-warblers 
have gone: there is no chorus of chattering and 
husky music to greet the new day; but presently 
a wren trills, a woodpecker's " chipping " breaks the 
silence of the nearby woods and bullfinches utter 
plaintive whistles in the sallow bushes. A pheasant 
wakes in a sedgy jungle roost and rises like a rocket, 
scattering the dew in its rude progress and raising 
a general alarm. The sun’s warmth now begins to be 
felt Soon bumble bees are astir; wasps begin their 
hunting and the first dragonfly wakes with a rustle 
and fret of wings. The mist and its magic have 
evaporated; the sparkling webs have dried to near 
invisibility and omy the recesses of the Insh under- 
growth are still wet The fen is set fair for a golden 
day as the peacock and brimstone butterflies come 
swooping out to the flowers. E. A. ELIAS.

IT IS, on the face of it, 'diffi- 
cult to see how Britain can ; 
grant independence to . the 
Rhodesian Administration and 
retain some semblance , of 
honouring either the spirit or 
the letter of the five principles 
she herself has laid down for a 
settlement 

Regardless of the tortuous 
semantics in which both sides 
are reported to be indulging, 
Mr Smith's , basic position 
remains clear : he will not 
budge from the principle of 
white government for the fore- 
seeable future. 


If no Anglo r Rhodesian 
accord is reached, the contro- 
versial “ Property Owners 
(Residential Protection) Bill” 
will aimosi certainly be intro- 
duced soon. It will allow 15 
unnamed whites to petition for 
the eviction of Aslans and 
Coloureds (mixed blood) from 
white suburbs. It will probably 
result in the establishment of a 
race Classification Board, 
similar to the South - African 
model. 

Yet, in a “beads we win, tails 
you lose” principle, even if a 
settlement is reached, white 
pressure for the introduction of 
the Property Bill will probably 
only be postponed. Once the 
dust has settled, and normal 
international trade has been 
resumed, Rhodesia will be free 
to introduce whatever legis- 
lation, or constitutional amend- 
ments she wishes, and will risk 
only the censure, not the 
sanctions, of Britain and 
anyone else who still cares. 

If Mr Smith resists the right- 
wing pressure, then his political 
life could be endangered. The 
Rhodesian electorate, which 
today shouts “ good old 
Smithie,” has in the recent past 
shouted hurrahs for Sir Roy 
Welensky, Sir Edgar White- 
head, and Mr B. S. Garfield 
Todd, and turned them quickly 
to boos and catcalls. It could 
happen again and Mr Smith 
would be foolish not to bear 
this in mind. 

The Rhodesian leader's first 
hint that his popularity may 
already have began to wane 
came unexpectedly last month, 
at a byelection in the lower 
middle-class suburb of Mebel- 
reign. Mr Smith was scheduled 
to address an eve of poll meet> 
ing, and anticipating a packed 
house, the Rhodesian Front 
organisers told Mebelreign 
voters to bring copies of the by- 
election manifesto with them in 
order to ensure they were given 
seats. In the event, only 1SG 
people turned up and Mr Smith 
addressed his first half-empty 
hall in more than eight years. 
Worse still, his candidate won 
by only 68 votes over an 
extreme right-wing opponent. 

I understand the Rhodesian 
leader was shaken by the 
experience. 

Still the talks must go on. Mr 
Smith's personal record is 
dean : he could have accepted 
the Tiger and Fearless settle- 
ments, and then when sanc- 
tions were lifted, torn them up 
and defied the world to do its 
worst Indeed, there are many 
Rhodesians who wonder why he 
did not. So if this month Mr 
Smith gives his word that he 



Lord Goodman, special envoy 


Heads we win, 
tails you lose? 


Anglo-Rhodesian settlement talks resume this 
week with officials of Mr Smith’s administration 
optimistic that, this time, an agreement will be 
reached. PETER NIESEWAND examines the 
real prospects. 


would abide by a settlement it 
would be very difficult for 
Britain to call him a liar. 

There’s another aspect to 
tbi« : a body of opinion in 
Whitehall believes that the five 
million African majority in 
Rhodesia cannot possibly lose. 
By simple overwhelming num- 
bers, they must fairly soon 
form the Government of 
Rhodesia. 

The only question is: what 
method will they use to win? 
Will it be violent revolution, or 
peaceful social change ? 

The answer lies in white 
hands : in the goodwill (or lack 
of it) with which the 249,000 
Europeans deal with the thous- 
ands of black school leavers, in 
the speed with which they 
expand the economy to cope 
with the population explosion, 
and in the steps they take to 
improve race relations -and 
encourage black dignity and 
self-respect 

According to this reasoning, 
if Mr Smith or his successors 
depart from the spirit of a 
settlement, they will merely be 
hammering nails into their own 
coffins. 

In contrast to the optimism 
in Rhodesian official circles, I 
understand the- British will 
arrive here this week in a cauti- 
ous mood. -When Lard Good- 
man and his team flew in last 
June, they were hopeful that 
the encouraging rate of pro- 
gress would be maintained, and 
that a summit ‘between Mr 


Smith and Sir Alec Douglas- 
Home would be organised 
speedily. 

In the event, they found that 
Mr Smith had dug in his heels, 
a nd discussions went round in 
circles until neither side had 
an y thin g further to say. Sooner 
than abandon the talks, it was 
decided to adjourn them to 
allow both sides to reconsider 
their positions. 

Security had been good. The 
British team booked into a 
suburban hotel, the Quom, and 
stayed there unnoticed. But 
only just : one Salisbury 

journalist dropped Into the 
hotel for a beer one afternoon. 
He saw the head of the Rho- 
desian Special Branch sitting in 
the loung, and went across to 
say hell. The SB man was, to 
say the least, surprised, but 
offered the journalist a beer. 
The journalist sold him two 
tickets to the Press Club dance, 
and left shortly afterwards — 
about half a minute before the 
unmistakeable figure of Lord 
Goodman came down the stairs 
followed by Sir Philip and the 
rest of the team. 

After Lord Goodman’s second 
secret mission, he gave the 
British Government an 
optimistic report Four of the 
five principles had been 
overcome: the differences had 
been narrowed down to prin- 
ciple number one: unlxnposed 
progress towards majority rule. 

Britain had proposed a new 
definition of “majority rule.”

system 0 f separate ^ 

for black and white* and ended - 
in racial parity in Parliament 
with 50 seats each. Stage two 
envisaged the creation of a 
common root, and the forma- 
tion of a government elected by 
the cream of black and white 
voters — “The civilised 
majority.” 

But the sticking point seemed 
insuperable : how soon would 
the races reach parity and enter 
stage two? Mr Smith wanted 
the rate of progress .deter- 
mined by the amount of income 
tax paid by Africans as a group, 
as is the case at present The 
British insisted on the qualifica- 
tions being determined by pro-: 
perty, education, and income. 

The gap between the rides 
was not narrowed in spite of 
more than a dozen meetings, 
and it became clear that, for 
the time, neither side had any- 
thing further to say. • 

Lord Goodman left disap- 
pointed, but believing Mr Smith 
would play his cards dose to 
his chest until a summit was 
held. 

However, Britain’s Foreign 
Secretary, Sir Alec Douglas- 
Home, was inistent that he 
would not attend a- summit 
until a settlement had been pri- 
vately agreed, line by line, with 
Mr Smith. After a pause to 
allow this message to sink In in 
Salisbury, contacts were 
resumed by letter and a Rho- 
desian concession on African 
voting qualifications made it 
worthwhile resuming direct dis- 
cussions. 

Lord Goodman’s task now is 
to make sure that both sides are 
speaking the same language, 
and to try to lay the final 
struts of the bridge between 
white supremacy and blade - 
rule.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 


Thank heaven for Cole . . • 


A raw deal 


Sir,— In recent months the 
Guardian has been one of the 
few newspapers in which an 
Irishman could recognise the 
world in which he grew up, and 
now John Cole has given us an 
extended editorial which is 
outstandingly constructive 
because it does start from the 
real problem. 

Those of us who came to 
political consciousness under 
Sir Basil Brooke's stalwart 
premiership (like our fathers 
before us) found a complex 
scene in whose analysis the 
English press and parties gave 
us very little help. Ulster made 
the news once a year, with its 
quaint folk-festival on July 12. 
We could see that the Unionist 
leaders included some of the 
worst rascals to be found in 
politics west of Moscow, or 
east of Chicago or north of 
Dublin. Gerrymandering was a 


feature of the scene as were the 
IRA men picking off policemen 
from behind hedges. 

Occasional visitors would 
arrive from overseas, as Mr 
Enoch Powell did last week, to 
sharpen up our sense of the 
differences between us; and our 
taciturn representatives at 
Westminster would fall totally 
silent when it came to any crisis 
near to home (as when they 
watched Mr Terence O’Neill 
bite the dust). 

What is still lacking in most 
press coverage of this scene is 
any sense of how the British 
political parties have failed in 
their handling of Ulster over 
the past 25 years. The Conser- 
vative Party Is the model for us 
all in how best to educate your 
backwoodsmen, but as luck 
would have it Suez. and Central 
Africa were the educational 
.priority areas. Ulstermen sup- 


porting the policies of the 
British Labour Party have 
watched each leader in turn toy 
witii the solution which Mr 
Wilson now finds temptingly 
simple. 

If you tell them they needn't 
march each July 12 to keep 
their- British passports up to 
date, they will perhaps reply — 
tell that to the Kenyan Asians. 

Because the Guardian did not 
discover the Ulster problems 
the day before yesterday, the 
policies it now advances are 
credible. One of your correspon- 
dents was thanking God in 
these columns the other day for 
giving us Mr Paul Foot. Perhaps 
he might mention your deputy 
firiitor too when he’s on the 
line. — Yours sincerely, 

David Chambers.

Sir, — Thank you for publish- : ,

my sentiments on returning 
from a month in the States last 
year. I am sure that people in 
this country don’t realise what 
a raw deal they are getting 
from the BBC. With seven 
national wavelengths why do we 
only have a choice of 3} pro- 
grammes ? _ 

If people in Syracuse, New 
York, can have six programmes 
what about eight million Lon- 
doners? Surely we all deserve 

choice. I would like the Jpn 
BBC to know that there 'are r° -'*§ht

Sir, — Victor Zorza’s article on 
“ Khrushchev’s catastrophe ” 
contains a number of nonsensi- 
cal and misleading statements: 

1. Kennedy’s Vietnam policy 
had nothing to do with any 
“ flamboyant remarks” by 
Khrushchev. In fact, Kennedy 
inherited an obligation in South- 
east Asia which he felt com- 
pelled to honour. At the same 
time he steadfastly refused to 
commit American ground 
troops, and latterly made clear 
his intention to -withdraw all 
advisers from South Vietnam 
by the end of 1965. 

2. Zorza repeatedly refers to 
the pressure which Khrushchev 
was under from his military, 
without apparently considering 
that an American President 
might have found himself in a 
similar situation. Evidently 
Zorza has not read President 


Eisenhower’s farewell address 
in which he wrote : “ In the 
councils of government we must 
guard against the acquisition of 
unwarranted influence ... by 
thr military industrial complex. 
The potential for the disastrous 
rise of misplaced power exists 
and will persist . . 

If Zorza had read Robert 
Kennedy’s M Thirteen Days," he 
would know that at the time of 
the Cuban missiles crisis, the 
majority of top military brass 
favoured a Pearl Harbour-style 
attack on tbe Cuban bases, and 
that at least one favoured a 
nuclear strike. 

The fact that Kennedy 
resisted these pressures ana 
adopted the policy he did 
caused Khrushchev to lose face 
— according to Zorza ! 

3. Kennedy is further slated 
for insisting that the Pentagon 


build up conventional forces so 
that a war of the future need 
not take the form of a nuclear 
confrontation. The poor man 
can t wm i 

4. Most unforgivable, how- 
ever, is Zorza's assumption that 
e dictator of the totali- 
tarian Russian State is subject 
to all sorts of pressures which 
threaten his position and limit 
his freedom of action, an 
Amencan President is a sort of 
Z?° H b * fcs elec- 

1 ^tion, pressure and 
intrigue. Not only, it seems 
should Kennedy have ruled his 
mm country wisely; he should 
also have -nursemaided the 
opponeot “

Solving Macclesfield’s problems sensibly 


Sir— The writer of your 
article on Macclesfield (Septem- 
ber 13) and its readers, might 
like to know that at least one 
of the town’s problems has been 
solved. Frost’s Mill, referred to 
by Mr Johnson as “an embar- 
rassment because no one knows 
what to do with it” because of 
its status as a protected build- 
ing, has been acquired by a 
small but growing manufactur- 
ing company. 

This fact is important not 
only as enlightenment for Mr 


Johnson, but also as an example 
of how Macclesfield and other 
towns with a changing industrial 
structure can solve their prob- 
lems. Within the past year the 
residents of Macclesfield and its 
surrounding agricultural dis- 
tricts have protested,, under- 
standably and successfully 
against two new industrial 
estates on tbe boundaries of the 
town, which would have 
encroached upon the already 
fast diminishing Ches hir e coun- 
tryside.

MACLEOD speaks. A 12-inch 
long-playing record has been 
made of ihe subtly acid 
speeches of Iain Macleod, and 
will be on sale by the time 
tiie Tories gather m Brighton 
next month. One side has 
three of Macleod’s party con- 
ference speeches, the other 
extracts from five broadcasts 
and other orations. 

The record was the idea of 
Gary Waller, a former chair- 
man of the Conservative pres- 
sure group. PEST. The 
sleeve will have commemora- 
tive messages from Ted Heath, 
Robert Carr. Nigel Fisher, 
Nicholas Scott and the widow 
Macleod. 

Each disc will sell at about 
£1.50. Waller hopes it will 
raise about £700 for the Crisis 
at Christmas appeal ( remem- 
ber the vagrants), of which 
the late Chancellor was a 
sponsor. One thousand have 
been pressed. More to follow, 
if demand justifies. 

Double cross 

COMING UP : two Italian 
film versions of the Cruci- 
fixion, by two directors who 
are politically poles part. 

Franco Zeffirelli, of 
“ Romeo and Juliet," now 
completing a film about St 
Francis of Assisi, says that his 
next work wUl be “an 
investigation into the political 
assassination of Jesus.” 

Gillo Pontecorvo (brother 
of Bruno, the British scientist 
who defected to the Soviet 
Union 21 years ago, and 
director of the prize-winning 
“ Battle of Algiers ”> says that 
his next film also will be about 
Jesus. After looking around 
at contemporary accounts, he 
has taken his inspiration from 
Hugh Schonfieid’s “ The Pass- 
over Plot.” which suggested 
that Christ contrived his own 
crucifixion to fulfill messianic 
prophecies.

Springhlll. the open prison 
near Aylesbury, has started 
an account with Unirose, the 
London firm that sends deli- 
cately-wrapped single roses to 
wives and sweethearts at £1 
a bloom. 

The governor rings up and 
orders a rose to be sent for 
one or other of his 150 
charges. The bill goes to nim, 
and he docks the money from 
their pay. Unirose has sent 
more than 20 in the past three 
months.

SILVER MEDAL for the 
tab 

week : ** Dangerous drugs, 

explosives, immigration, law 
and order— just a few of the 
interesting subjects you could 
meet fn clerical work in the 
Hbnie .Office.” 


especially since the death last 
week of Captain David 
Stewardson when a bomb 
blew up in his face as he 
tried to neutralise it : “ If 
only we knew we could trace 
the man who lost a detonator 
or sol dit illegally, instead of 
relying on a bit of luck — 
like finding a fingerprint — it 
would make a sacrifice like 
that seem more worthwhile.” 
The major accepts that, a 
new manufacturing process 
cannot be introduced over- 
night. But against the back- 
ground of steadily escalating 
terrorism — which, may not 
be confined to the IRA if the 


much forecast Protestant 
backlash materialises — he 
wants the tap turned off now 
so that at some predictable 
time the supply of untrace- 
able components will eventu- 
ally stop flowing from the 
industrial pipeline. If 
necessary the Government 
could amend the Explosive 
Substances Act 
Meanwhile the bombing 
continues, much safer for 
those who do it than taking 
on the army in night gun 
battles, and much more effec- 
tive in stirring up fear and 
hatred among the civilian 
population. The bombs them- 


selves range from your 
common -or garden nail bomb 
— commonly a four-ounce 
stick of gelignite wrapped in 
corrugated cardboard filled 
with nails and a length of 
fuse stuck In the end — 
through to the carefully pre- 
pared suitcase time bomb. A 
pile of scrap iron and rocks 
stacked in front of a bundle 
of gelignite, as in London- 
derry on Friday night, makes 
an effective antipersonnel 
mine. 

A vehicle trip wire can set 
off a simple blast but has not 
often been used, perhaps 
because the BBC engineers 


killed sometime ago in this 
way were supposed to have 
been an army patroL In 
nearly every case the com- 
ponents are simple and easy 
to obtain. An ordinary alarm 
' clock can be used as a timing 
device, a torch battery as a 
firing mechanism, a doorbell 
as a remote control, or a 
mousetrap as an anti- 
handling device. 

It was some such device 
which probably killed 
Captain Stewardson the other 
day in Castlerobin. Not 
because he was unaware of 
the danger of a booby-trap. 
On the contrary, he seems to 
have known exactly what the 
man who made the bomb 
intended, way of an anti- 
handling device, but was 
caught by some accidental 
instability in the construc- 
tion of the bomb. A similar 
bomb was deliberately 
exploded by the army after 
careful examination at a 
petrol station near Lisburn at 
the weekend. But once Major 
Styles’s men are absolutely 
sure what they are dealing 
with they will probably 
neutralise others of this typo 
in the normal way. 

Sooner or later all the 
basic anti-handling principles 
are likely to be used in 
Northern Ireland — the anti- 
tilt switch, anti-lift, pressure 
applied or released — but the 
army can call on a vast fund 
of experience which is hardly 
going to be matched by the 
IRA. As in other aspects of 
the military situation here, 
the army’s problem is not 
dealing with the enemy when 
he emerges as a cool-headed 
explosives technician, but 
when he is nothing more than 
an excited youngster lighting 
the fuse attached to a bundle 
of gelignite os if it were a 
firework. 


TAUNCHING Christmas 
cards before he auiumn 
equinox may seem a bit out 
of season, but that was what 
Unicef was doing on a warm 
day in London yesterday. And 
Uniccf should know what’s 
what, for it is the pioneer 
operator in the charity Christ- 
mas card business — a business 
which now provides 10 per 
cent of its annual revenue (or 
40 per cent of the revenue it 
gets from private sources). 

It all began in the most 
innocent and unplanned way 
when the first director of 
Unicef was sent a picture by 
a Czech schoolgirl which he 
decided to use as his own per- 
sonal greetings card. That 
was in 1947. Last year Unicef 
sold 70 million cards all round 
the world, netting about £2 
millions. In what is now a 
highly competitive market it 
expects to maintain an annual 
growth rate of between 10 
and 20 per cent 

UnicePs expertise today is 
devoted to keeping fresh an 
idea which can easily begin to 
look stale when so many others 
have climbed on the band- 
wagon. There have been com- 
plaints about the designs. 
"Where’s Santa Claus?" some- 
one was grumbling yesterday. 
Santa Claus in fact turns up 
in only one of the cards 
chosen for distribution here, 
somewhat incongruously in 
charge of a Viking longboat 

But if Santa Claus is semi- 
redundant ia the Unicef 
scheme of things, it is because 
the cards, with Season’s

Harford Thomas on how card cash helps children 


Greetings printed in four lan- 
guages, have to be good for 
any country of the United 
Nations, and Unicef must 
remember to be self- 
consciously neutral in its atti- 
tudes to the world’s religions, 
and to the world’s secular 
politics, too. 

At this it is adroit enough 


to sell well in Russia and 
other Communist countries of 
Europe with cards good for 
three occasions in a fortnight 
— the secular New Year of 
January 1, the Orthodox 
Christmas of January 7, and 
the Orthodox New Year of 
January 14. 

Trying to have the best of 
many worlds .prompts the 


artists to some enjoyable 
fantasy. A sure favourite this 
year is an elephant trotting 
over a snowbound landscape 
with a howdah-load of tiny 
tots (pink, brown, and black) 
snugjy wrapped in woollies: 
the artist is British. 

The traditional Christian 
theme still tends to predomin- 
ate. and in this line Unicef 
has pulled off quite a coup for 
1971. It has obtained exclu- 
sive rights to the reproduc- 
tion of five notable treasures 
from the Vatican collection 
(two in the Byzantine style 
of the eleventh century, and 
three of the fourteenth and 
fifteenth century Italian 
masters). They come, as 
one might say, with the 
blessing of the Pope, for the 
chairman of the Italian 
national committee of Unicef 
is Senator Montini — brother 
of Pope Paul. 

Unicef keeps its own 
league table of card-addicted 
countries. It is hard to 
believe, but Britain has a 
long way to go to get any- 
where near the league lead- 
ers. There are four or five 
times as many Unicef cards 
sold in Germany as there are 
in Britain, and twice as many 
in France — which makes 
Britain’s two million sound 
on the paltry side. 

Even so. one of the things 
worrying the English yester- 
day was how to avoid send- 
ing your friends the same 
cards they send you. Nobody 
had an answer to that one, 
though the traveller abroad 
may like to know that each 
Unicef national committee 
chooses about twenty out of 
some three dozen available to 
distribute in their own coun- 
try — the locals being thought 
to be tbe best judge of local 
taste. So in some countries 
abroad you should be able to 
bay some Unicef cards that 
are not circulating here. 



Ueroin addict— bejorn and a] ter Umlacsl 


Heroin heroics 

John Ezard on the battle against addiction 


JAMES NORMAN stood forth 
in London yesterday like one 
of those Biblical prophets who 
offers a certain cure for a 
plague. He even delivered 
the characteristic side -swipe 
at the ignorant medics 
already on the scene — and to 
complete tbe resemblance, the 
Government has refused to 
listen to him. 

In his case, however, the 
plague is heroin addiction, 
and Mr Norman has an 
unusually authoritative claim 
to be qualified to judge the 
British scene. 

From 1953 to 1968, he was 
Prisons Commissioner for 
Hongkong, an island with a 
heroin epidemic older than 
Britain's, and 40 times as big. 

Mr Norman’s message is 
that — in these hopelessly 
unpromising conditions — he 
encouraged the launching of 
two unconventional treatment 
centres which achieved a 
cure rate of 59.6 per cent 
among 1,400 addicts. His 
figures are based on an 
intensive follow-up of addicts 
for a year after treatments, 
lasting on average six months 

Armed with such results, 
he was able to persuade three 
Governments — Hongkong, 
Iran and Thailand — with com- 
bined populations of nearly 
100 million people to soften 
their traditionally repressive 
attitude to addicts. 

Even Thailand, whose 
northern area grows most of 
the Far East’s illicit heroin, 
has agreed to stop recording 
convictions against crimi- 
nals found to be addicts if 
they agree to go to a centre 
for treatment. In Hongkong, 
be was entirely responsible 
for liberalising the law. In 
Iran and Thailand, he helped 
draft new laws in his new job 
as consultant to the UN nar- 
cotics division. 

But when recently he tried 
to tell the news to the 
Elephant and Castle head- 
quarters of the Department 
of Health and Social Security, 
he was “ taken to see a 
brigadier or someone who 
took notes” and has heard 
nothing since. 

Mr Norman's view is that 
the Brain Committee, the 
source of most British anti- 
heroin measures, took a basic- 
ally wrong step in concentra- 
ting on the prevention of 
addiction almost to the exclu- 
sion of rehabilitation. 

** God help the addicis,” he 
comments, in a book pub- 


lished today, on the central 
role given to psychiatrists as 
result of Brain. Ironically, 
the Home Office advisory 
committee on drug depen- 
dence reported that it could 
find “very little experience" 
in rehabilitating addicts in 
196S — the year the that Hong- 
Kong successes began to 
become known. “ One must 
conclude that the committee 
did not look very far — or per- 
haps did not wish to,” Mr 
Norman writes. 

Hongkong's two centres 
are carefully placed far from 
towns, one of them for com- 
pulsory, court-ordered atten- 
dee at Tai Lam, the other 
for voluntary .patients on the 
island of Shek Kwu Chau, 
which takes anyone who 
wants a cure. 

They offer intensive open- 
air work projects — one centre 
rebuilt a peasant village — 
and adult education classes, 
supported by a drug with- 
drawal clinic and a psychia- 
tric observation centre. Mr 
Norman says the key to their 
success is that addicts are 
not designated as “ criminals, 
lunatics or faceless morons.” 
He finds it interesting to read 
British press reports of hard 
drugs being smuggled into 
hospital drug treatment 
centres and high security 
prisons. At the open Tai Lam 
centre, there was virtually no 
smuggling for a decade. 

“They get so engrossed in 
the life of the centre that 
they slowly forget their 
addiction.” said Mr Norman. 
As a recipe for a cure, that 
would sound banal and 
evasive to a - Home Office 
team. But the figures are 
there to prove it and they 
are to some extent confirmed 
by the results of smaller- 
scale. unpublicised regimes 
run by rural religious orders 
here. 

The lesson appears to be 
that absorption, without 
stigma, in a busy small com- 
munity can wean an addict 
away from drugs. The com- 
munity is expensive to 
establish — Thailand’s centre 
will cost one million dollars — 
and might not be justified 
with Britain's presently 
declining number of addicts* 
But for the United States, 
where exuensive psychiatric 
centres like Lexington are 
producing ruinous relapse 
rates, the moral of the Hong- 
kong “communes” may be 
worth urgent study. 


Transport of 
despair 


B Y NOW, most of the stu- 
dents who failed for one 
reason or another to join the 
autumn intake to university 
will be resignedly working on 
the buses, hitchhiking their 
way round the world, or 
simply sitting at home and 
waiting for another year’s 
applications to be sifted. 
Among them there must 
surely be at least half a dozen 
who did not know at the end 
of their last school term that 
places were going begging on 
one of the more exciting poly- 
technic courses to be started 
in years. 

The begging has now 
become a cry of despair at 
Lan Chester Poly, where the 
three-year diploma course in 
industrial design (transporta- 
tion) is threatened with still- 
birth if sufficient students 
cannot be found within the 
next week or so. Advertise- 
ments and thousands of leaf- 
lets have failed to secure the 
eight or nine still needed to 
justify the course. An abortion 
will almost certainly be per- 
formed by the DES if they are 
not found. 

Which would be mournful 
Indeed, if one considers the 
gestation involved. The Lan- 
ch ester transportation course, 
a very badly needed bridging 
of the artistic and scientific 
disciplines concerned with a 
subject that touches us all, 
has — almost unbelievably — 
been ten years in the making. 
First discussed by the old col- 
lege of art and design with 
Humber Cars (taken over by 
Rootes, then Chrysler, and 
now no longer in business), 
it waited six years before 
another motor manufacturer, 
Ford, revived interest. 

Department head, Hume 
Cooke, was appointed, and a 
draft syllabus prepared four 
years ago, only to be moth- 
balled while the Summers on/. 
Coldstream review of design 
education ground its wheels. 
The final go-ahead this year 
was a triumph of Cooke’s 
enthusiasm over classic 
educational inertia, reflected 
in an inordinately well- 


by lan Breach 

equipped department in the 
new Coventry building. 

Cooke, a former car stylist, 
industrial designer for 
Morphy-Richards, ’and one- 
time head of design at 
Coventry College of Art, 
forged the course out of a 
belief that design is another 
word for interdisc i plinary 
problem-solving. Thus this 

course is intended to cross the 
fields of town planning, 
transport-system and environ- 
mental studies, production 
technologies, and graphics, 
with an aim-— whether con- 
cerned with the evolution of 
alternatives to the car or the 
use of visual communication 
techniques in public transport 
—of producing truly execu- 
tive designers. 

Although CNAA status has 
been sought, initial graduates 
would emerge with a very 
worthy, if dull, polytechnic 
ce r ti fic ate : it will come as no 
surprise to observers of the 
design world that Cooke’s 
visionary counterparts in the 
United States and elsewhere 
in Europe have comparatively 
little difficulty in persuading 
authorities of the need for 
such studies at natural 
degree leveL 

One of the problems has 
been that a course with such 
radical objectives requires a 
rather different sort of 
entrant This one, a two-and- 
a-half year" “ thin sandwich ” 
of interfaculty work, must be 
unique among art colleges in 
requiring an ”A”-level pass in 
mathematics or a -science, or 
Ordinary National Diploma in 
engineering, with possible 
variations for mature 
students. Tbe philosophy is 
that it is more hopeful to 
turn a science-based student 
into a fully trained designer 
than to rely on the tradi- 
tional process of working with 
fine-art foundation students. 
There are many designers — 
and employers of designers— 
who would readily see the 
wisdom of this: so, if they 
can be reached in time, would

i'VNOE again the industry is 
V gathering at Dussddorf 
for the Kunststbffe exhibition, 
held at four yearly intervals 
and the most important in the 
European plastics calendar. 
This time, at K71, the atmo- 
sphere is different The loca- 
tion is the new exhibition 
centre erected by NOWEA, the 
Dussddorf fair authority, to 
replace the earlier complex of 
bails which, by German stan- 
dards, is now outworn — 
although still vastly superior to 
any British facility. 

The surroundings, therefore, 
are impressive. More signifi- 
cant, how.ever, is the fact that 
the seemingly endless expan- 
sion throughout the whole 
series of Kunststoffe exhibitions 
since the war is no longer an 
automatic assumption. During 
the period since 1967, and 
especially in the last year or 
so. tremors have been felt 
which have radically shaken 
even those triple pillars of the 
German chemical empire— 
BASF, Bayer, and Hoechst. 

What has happened? There 
is no evidence that the techno- 
logical prospects for plastics 
have become less bright 
Indeed, the graphs showing how 
much plastics are being used 
still point sharply upwards, 
even if the slope has eased off 
a bit. Although the figures vary 
from country to country, 
plastics everywhere continue to 
outstrip the average per- 
formance of industry as a 
whole. 

Nevertheless, the practice of 
blithely projecting such graphs 
up to the millennium has fallen 
somewhat into disrepute, and 
on the whole the industry recog- 
nises that there has to be a 
finite limit to its hitherto head- 
long progress. But when, and at 
what level, are questions to 
which no one knows the 
answers, and few are prepared 
to guess. 


Growth 


graph 


falters 


ROBIN PEN FOLD on the end of 
plastic's first fine careless rapture 


years through which plastics 
prices have dropped steadily. 
The visitor to K71 will find the 
stands of the big chemical com- 
panies scarcely less palatial 
than before, but if he digs a 
little' deeper he will find a much 
harder commercial core. Tech- 
nical backing will not be so 
readily forthcoming for the 
unknown and p&rticuiarly the 
unestablished customer — 
though if a project is, after 
scrutiny, assessed as viable in 
terms of material consump- 
tion. support should still be 
available. 

The material manufacturers, 
however, are but one part of 
the industry. They account in 
their own names for only a 


methods. Certainly they are a 
prominent feature at plastics 
exhibitions due to the sheer 
(and constantly increasing) size 
of tbeir wares, and K71 is no 
exception, with the machinery 
hall accounting for a high pro- 
portion of the total floor apace. 


German role 


small, specialised portion of 
of pla ‘ J 


Commercial 


The present difficulties are 
commercial rather than techni- 
cal. Manufacture of plastics 
materials is carried out by the 
large . oil and chemical com- 
panies. and the investment 
required is colossal. In their 
efforts to secure a maximum 
share of a growth market, these 
concerns have vied with each 
other in the size of their pro- 
dnctio&plans (this is as true of 
othercffettHCaL. sectors such as 
fibres and fertUiers as it is of 
plastics) so that overcapacity 
has tended to be the rule in the 
past few years and profit 
margins have, with intense 
price competition, become slim. 

A period of sharp inflation, 
making nonsense of cost esti- 
mates. with a simultaneous 
easing off in economic activity, 
has therefore troubled every 
major European chemical pro- 
ducer ; in fact, the French 
companies appear to have 
managed better than most. 

In this situation plans have 
had to be limited, postponed, 
or even abandoned, and prices 
are now on a rising trend — 
this after a period of many 


ultimate sales of plastics end- 
products. In between them and 
the consumer come the pro- 
cessors or converters, large in 
number but generally small in 
size, especially when compared 
to the chemical giants 
(although increasingly the more 
substantial or successful ones 
get acquired by a larger group 
either wanting to meet its own 
internal demand for plastics 
components or to diversify). 

Plastics converters are sub- 
ject to all the pressures typi- 
cally experienced by smaller 
businesses in an uncertain and 
inflationary economic climate. 
As a class, therefore, they are 
now even more preoccupied 
than usual with the immediate 
problems of keeping tbeir 
machinery busy, their customers 
happy, and their operations in 
the black. If this hard-headed 
approach leaves little time to 
worry about the industry's 
growth statistics, it must not 
be forgotten that the efforts, 
skill, and capacity for innova- 
tion of the plastics moulders 
and fabricators are as important 
as the contribution of the 
material manufacturers in 
terms of research and develop- 
ment in effecting such growth. 

The third major wing of the 
plastics industry consists of the 
machinery manufacturers, who 
have become a progressively 
more important factor in recent 
years with the increasing 
sophistication of processing 


A major reason for the pre- 
eminent standing of Kunst- 
stoffe is the position of West 
Germany itself in the world 
plastics industry. This is a 
story that goes back to the 
beginnings of industrial chem- 
istry in the ' last century, and 
now the country both produces 
and uses more plastics per 
capita 'than any other. It 
exports more plastics materials 
than Britain makes, and has 
extremely powerful plastics 


machinery and processing 
rdi 


industries. According to 
“ British Plastics,” production 
of West German plastics 
materials last year was not far 
short of 4} million tons. In 
absolute terms this is less than 
either the United States (8} 
million tons) or Japan (about 
5 million tons). The latter over- 
took Germany two or three 
years ago, and one marked 
feature of K71 is the steadily 
growing interest of Japanese 
firms in the European market 
both for materials and especi- 
ally machinery — plus the small 
armies of Japanese visitors who 
will doselv scrutinise every 
stand at this huge show. 

There is also a considerable 
American element, most 
evident through the exhibits, of 
the European divisions of the 
big US material producers, 
nearly all of whom have major 
interests in the area. Essen- 
tially. however, this is a 
European exhibition — and as 
Western Europe makes some 
40 per cent and uses about a 
third of the world’s plastics, 
there is plenty for the visitor to 
see. And since annual world 
output has now topped 30 mil- 
lion tons, the Industry can 
hardly still be regarded as an 
infant 

Matters of the environment 
of course, loom constantly 


larger in everyone’s eon-, 
sciences. So far as plastics are 
concerned, the debate has 
centred on litter, becoming 
ever more noticeable with 
growing use of disposable 
packaging, where the claims for 
durability of plastics are shown 
to be only too true on ma ny a 
holiday beach. The industry 
having analysed the problem, it 
now seems generally accepted 
that dealing with plastics waste 
presents no insuperable prob- 
lems once it is collected. In 
the meantime research is also 
in progress into the feasibility 
of rendering plastics packs 
degradable, with some promis- 
ing if so far nnproven leads. 
Probablv, however, the only 
real solution mnst ultimately 
lie with the public. 

Meanwhile, basic research 
into plastics continues and, 
although K71 may throw tip 
one or two completely new 
materials, these will almost 
certainly Drove to be of highly 
soedalised application. Most of 
the development interest, cer- 
tainly at a practical industrial 
level, centres on modified 
grades of existing materials, 
irrmroved processing capabili- 
ties, or enhanced properties 
which can widen appli rational 
opportunities. 

In some areas the plastics 
industry is still faced with 
resistance to its products as 
* substitutes ” for traditional 
materials. This mainly applies 
to consumer applications, and 
is found more in Britain than 
in Germany, where consumer 
attitudes are different Yet one 
has to look no farther than 
one’s telephone or toothbrush 
to realise bow firmly — and in- 
deed fitly— plastics are now 
established and taken for 
granted in so many products. 
K71 is, however. Dot primarily 
a consumer exhibition (al- 
though many of the German 
public will visit it) and indus- 
try as a whole now recognises 
the worth of plastics when 
used property. 

If the growth rate experi- 
enced since the w&r cannot be 
indefinitely maintained, there 
are nevertheless numerous 
fields for major expansion of 
plastics usage, like transport, 
building and furniture. To 
speak of the possibility of a 
plastics breakthrough into such 
areas is. however, misleading. 

In the case of the building 
industry this has been a con-

TN THE RUINS of Pompeii 
is preserved a notice 
advising citizens that they will 
be dealt with severely if they 
drop rubbish in the streets. 
There is nothing new in the 
attitude of people to their 
environments. What is new is 
the dramatic increase in the 
bulk of deposited litter and the 
type of material being dropped. 
Increased bulk is a direct result 
of higher per capita volumes 
of material wealth, sales pro- 
motion of goods to be used once 
and thrown away, more mobi- 
lity of individuals, and an 
inevitable decline of social 
conscience in stressed urbanised 
living. 

Changes in the material avail- 
able for litter also arise from 
the urbanisation trend. This 
demands long-distance trans- 
port and preservation tech- 
niques, packaging, and the use 
of materials which will resist 
biodeterioration. Glass, which 
is fading out. was the earliest 
protective substance. Paper, 
which is cellulose treated to 
rive it endurance, came in and 
was followed about a century 
ago by plastics. The main 
reason why we are about to 
face a serious litter problem is 
that man has followed a deli- 
berate policy of making durable 
substances which defy the 
decay mechanisms provided by 
nature. 

Plastics are only part of the 
problem, but they dominate. 
Whereas other long-life sub- 
stances inhibit blodeterior- 
ation plastics reject it. The 
only effective breakdown 
system is oxidation within the 
mass, this being encouraged by 
ultraviolet radiation. 


either fall flat or suffer easy 
compression. Within twenty 
years, three quarters of mixed 
rubbish will be plastics, refus- 
ing to fall flat and resisting 
inexpensive compression mech- 
anics. There will be a five- 
fold increase in volume per 
weight unit, and a significant 
increase in total weight 


Forecasts of potential weight 


increase are strictly academic, 
being influenced by 


Toxins 

*If, by some means, the long 
molecules can be broken down 
to shorter chains, there is 
some possibility of biodeterior- 
ation. but It will be slow decay 
and there is a danger of toxic 
pollution if micro-organisms 
are presented with new raw 
material for digestion. If the 
plastics could be simply 
reduced to powder without 
chemical change, the release of 
possible toxin would be too 
slow to cause worry and the 
powder would have some slight 
value in soil mechanics. 

Reduction of volume is essen- 
tial for any disposal system 
for plastics if transport is 
involved. Tin cans crush and 
paper wets down, but plastics 
have waterproof elasticity 
which preserves the open 
form, not for years but for 
decades. At p r esent three 
quarters of mixed rubbish will 


far too 
many variables to be accurate. 
Th e range of application of 
plastics is changing rapidly, 
notably towards mass-replace- 
ment markets previously under- 
developed in favour of special- 
ised invention. So far, plastics 
have been aimed at uses which 
demand their peculiar proper- 
ties and where other materials 
could not compete. It is now 
evident that the comparative 
economics allow more direct 
competition in common 
markets. 

The significant analysis is the 
trend of price/perforznance for 
plastics against all other 
materials. Natural fibres were 
undercut some six or seven 
years ago. Glass is presently 
resisting inevitable replace- 
ment. In paper, wrapping paper 
and some art papers are con- 
verting to plastics and most of 
the cardboard packaging can- 
not compete against shrink- 
wrap. 

The important consideration 
is that this is not technical re- 
placement, although plastics 
offer advantages, but replace- 
ment based on cost Some time 
around 1984 plastics/perfor- 
mance levels will allow compre- 
hensive replacement of com- 
mon metal. At this point the 
only inhibition to sales pro- 
gress will be availablity of raw 
material and conversion capa- 
city. We will have reached the 
science fiction setting of total 
synthesis, including food. Con- 
tinued progress will not then 
rely on invention but on the 
rate of diffusion iff technology. 

Future market expansion for 
plastics, which directly concerns 
Utter volume and type, can be 
broadly split into replacement 
and the wider development of 
existing technological revolu- 
tions. To indicate the order of 
change, only two examples need 
mention. 

The first is replacement of 
urban vegetation in the face of 
increasing pollution and 
decreasing availability of 
manual labour. Synthetic gms 
is available now with better 
performance and lower cost 
than natural grass. 

With regard to the develop- 
ment of technological revolu- 
tions, plastics in agriculture will 
offer a third more yield with 


adjustable harvest times and, 
again, less cost We can look 
forward to plastics covering 
both urban and rural areas, 
with a five times increase at 
least in the volume of deposited 
litter, the litter being perma- 
nent 

A study of present litter prob- 
lems is not likely to presolve 
anything, but it can indicate the 
various potential origins of 
disaster and it can reveal the 
factors which lead to litter 
creation. There is evidence that 
plastics litter produces no 
chemical damage to ecology, 
but that physical damage 'is 
probable, as it is with any 
litter. Plastics offer more

they last longer.

when compared with damage

The major present crime of

2o fact plastics were first 
iployed tn cars some 50 years 
o when moulded phenolica 
ih their -.'good, insulating 
operties were employed for 
nple electrical parts. Since 
•a plastics have been progres- 
»ely used in one automotive 
plicational area after 
other, including, components 
th mechanical #nn - non- 


mechanical, as well as trim, 
cable . i ns ulat ion, etc With 
deepet - understanding by 
designers of the capabilities of 
the many different engineering 
plastics now available — not- 
ably A BS, acetal, acrylic, glass 
reinforced ■ polyester, nylon. 


plastics behave quite' differ- 
ently from materials such as 
metal and wood, and need a 
distinct approach 
In* designing a car com- 
ponent in plastics, the stage has 
now long been superseded 
where the new .material was 
regarded merely as a substitute 
for whatever was used before, 
and the original shape changed 
as little as possible. Whole 
assemblies are nowadays com- 
pletely redesigned to take full 
advantage of the superior 
properties of plastics, while 
their suitability for mass pro- 
duction in complex-shapes often 
enables many stages in com- 
ponent finishing and assembly 
to be eliminated 
A. good example of an 
application where costly metal 
fabrication Is replaced by a 
single moulding operation is to 
be seen in radiator grilles. The 
firs* plastics grille appeared in 
the US on 1955 Pontiac 
models, and now all four major 
American car producers are 
using them, the material being 
ABS. In Europe, the first such 
grilles appeared in 1067, and 
they are now being used by 
most important manufacturers. 
Including BMW British Ley- 


land, Chrysler, DAP. Peugeot. 
Renault, Vauxhali, and Volvo. 

la addition to being used for 
numerous other body com- 
pon cuts such as Instrument 
clusters, consoles, fascias, and 
trim, various of the plastics 
listed above are increasingly 
found in “under-bonnet” uses 
for mechanical parts, for 
example fans, and also for 
associated systems such as 
heater ducts. Cable insulation 
has long been made from PVC, 
and seats are now usually 
upholstered with PVC coated 
fabric and have flexible poly- 
urethane foam squabs. 

Crash pads are normally of 
composite plastics construction, 
and indeed the energy absorp- 
tion characteristics or plastics 
make them particularly valu- 
able In helping to meet greater 
demands for safety. Other com- 
ponents for which plastics are 
now strong contenders include 
petrol l anks and seat frames. 

Whole bodies 

However, for all this growing 
parts list, the future for plastics 
in cars must clearly lie in usage 
on the niass production fine, for 
panels and complete bodies. 
Care made from glass fibre rein- 
forced polyester resins (GRP) 
have, of course, been produced 
since the mid-fifties. But this 
production process is. excep- 
tionally for the plastics 
industry, a highly laborious 
one, in that the. body is pro- 
duced by hand lay-up of glass 


fibre mat and resm. and further 
time and space is then occupied 
before assembly can commence 
while curing takes place. Since 
the moulds employed are 
inexpensive, however, these 
materials are well salted for 
specialised manufacture, eg, 
sports vehicle bodies, proto- 
types, or commercial vehicle 
panels, from “ one-off ” jobs up 
to a production level of around 
5.000 units a year. . 

It must also be made clear 
that plastics will not replace 
steel in cars produced in really 
large numbers — upwards from 
about 80,000-100,000 annually. 
Not only do the manufacturers 
have an immense investment : n 
plant to produce pressed steel 
bodies, but at these rates the 
very expensive tooling asso- 
ciated with steel is counter- 
balanced by comparatively >ow 
material costs. 

Between these upper and 
lower limits, however, is au area 
in which a substantial propor- 
tion of car and commercial 
vehicle manufacture lies 
Although other possible 
methods of production are 
under study the one on which 
interest and actual practice has 
so far centred is sheet thermo- 
Eorming Since this process 
basically Involves drawing 
heated and softened thermo- 
plastic sheet, usually by 
vacuum. Into or over a mould, it 
is ideally suited for forming 
shapes such as panels and com- 
plete body shells. Therm of orm- 
ing tools are very much cheaper 
than 'those used In Injection 


moulding, so that not only can 
the process be economically 
used for much shorter produc- 
tion runs than the tens of 
thousands familiar In injection 
work, but it Is also suitable 
for prototypes, where easy 
tool modification is essential. 
Furthermore, production 
thermofonning tools are sub- 
stantially less expensive than 
matched metal tooling used in 
conjunction with GRP. 

Truck cub 

Work on tbermoforming 
major car components com- 
menced in the USA m the early 
1960s, and in 1965 the White 
Motor Company introduced a 
truck cab produced by this 
method Marbon in the USA 
subsequently developed a series 
of ABS bodied research 
vehicles culminating is 1968 
with tile Formacai which 
unlike its predecessors, was 
designed for volume produc- 
tion. Ail this series were sports 
cars, essentially comprising 
thermo formed one-piece top 
and bottom body shells 

The first thermoplastic 
bodied car actually to achieve 
volume d redaction was the 
Citroen Dyane 6 Mebari, 
launched in 2968 and produc 
tion of these popular and 
sturdy runabouts now runs into 
tens of thousands The design 
concept was in the event 
completely different from the 
experimental cars mentioned 
above consisting if plevep 


basic thermorormed ABS panels 
simply attached by bolts to the 
standard Dyane 6 chassis, per- 
mitting easy replacement of 
body parts. 

Hie small boat industry Is 
another ripe field for plastics. 
Glass reinforced materials are 
already firmly established and 
are much used by small yards 
in replacement of wood but, 
with explosive public interest 
in sailing, the mass production 
of thermoformed hulls becomes 
highly attractive because of 
economies of scale, speed of 
manufacture, and the great 
design freedom conferred. 
Boats based on such hulls are 
now produced in France, Ger- 
many. Italy, and the United 
Kingdom. With sheet now 
being extruded up to 3 metres 
wide and more, - and the 
availability of thermofonning 
machines able to handle it, 
such craft axe becoming bigger. 
The very latest ABS-holled sail- 
ing boat, from West Germany, 
has a length of 4.35 metres 
and is 1.74 metres in tbe beam. 
There is, however, no question 
of a challenge at this stage to 
the use of GRP for hulls for 
larger boats such as sailing 
cruisers and even small 
trawlers and naval craft such 
as are now being turned out 

With tbe advent Df flame- 
retardant thermoplastics of 
light weight it is expected that 
significant quantities will be 
used in the aerospace industry.

But although starch is the 
cheapest and therefore widely 
used, pigment binder, it has 
tile -disadvantage of being 
easily resolubitised when sub- 
jected to moisture Con- 
sequently, when a package 
made from a paper with s 
starch-based coating becomes 
damp the coating soon 
deteriorates, -and the printed 
design is spoiled^ This prob- 
lem is solved by using starch - 
based coatings containing 
aminoplastic resin. The resin 
insolnhilises the starch, making 
it water-resistant and thp 


pnnieo surface <s [hereby 
preserved. 

Packaging boards intended 
for colour printing are usually 
coated with latex-bound pig- 
ments, which are more water- 
resistant than starch, but never- 
theless amino resins are often 
incorporated in them as an 
added safeguard against the 
effects of moisture, both during 
printing and in subsequent use 
— in the trade term, to impart 
"wet rub resistance." 

Printing papers with amino- 
treated coatings are in fact 
multi-purpose, being suitable 
for letterpress, gravure, and 
offset litho- They provide a 
good balance between the vari- 
ous properties needed for 
each process, and enable tbe 
printer to use the same grade 
of paper no matter which 
printing process is employed. 

Food packs are a note- 
worthy major outlet for coated 
papers and boards So many 
prepacked goods are now 
clamouring for the housewife’s 
attention in supermarkets and 
self-service stores that eye- 
catching designs are imper- 
ative if a pack is to sell well. 
These can be printed quite 
cheaply by offset litho. so it Is 
true to say that if coated 
papers have not helped make 
shopping easier, they have cer 
tainly made it more colour- 
full 

Another advantage ol using 
paper for packaging which 
should not be overlooked is 
that while all-plastics packages 
and wrappings -re sometimes 
difficult to dispose of. papers 
and boards witi plastics- 
insolubilised coatings or con- 
taining wet strength resins, do 
not -normally cause problems. 
They can be destroyed or 
processed for reuse auite 
easily. 

Wet strength 

An interesting example of 
the way in which aminoplastic 
resins reduce waste disposal 
problems is found in the labels 
of returnable bottles. Labels 
for beer and wine bottles are 
often made from wet- 
strengthened -paper for two 
reasons — to prevent them from 
deteriorating due to condensa- 
tion in refrigerators, and to 
make them easier to recover 
When bottles are returned to 
the bottling plant When the 
bottles are washed, the wet 
strength labels float to the 
surface of the wateT and are 
easily skimmed off. 

Another important applica- 
tion of plastics in tbe coating 
of cellulose materials is found 
in tbe manufacture of trans- 
parent cellulose film. This 
Qualifies as a “coated paper” 
since it is made from regener- 
ated cellulose fibres, and is 
given a thermoplastic coating 
to render it moisture proof and 
enable it to be heat-sealed. 
Before the thermoplastic coat- 
ing is applied tbe cellulose film 
is treated with an amino resin 
which forms a water-resistant 
bond between tbe cellulose and 
the thermoplastic. Many new 
and different types of cellulose 
film have been developed, and 
the material is more than hold- 
ing Its own against competition 
from plastics film

Plan to 
correct 
economy 
index 


By PETER RODGERS 


The Industrial Production 
Index dropped slightly La July 
after three months at a cautious 
peak, but Whitehall statisticians 
are as usual reluctant to draw 
sweeping conclusions from the 
month's change because of 
technical problems with the 
figures. 

These have made the index an 
unreliable month by month 
guide to the health of the 
economy, but new techniques 
are to be introduced shortly — 
probably next month — which 
may solve one of the worst in- 
accuracies. 

This occurs in the production 
index for engineering, which 
recently has often thrown out 
the index by large amounts 
because provisional estimates 
have had to be revised sub- 
stantially later on. 

The Central Statistical Office 
has devised a new “ smoothing " 
technique which has been tested 
on the engineering figures for 
the last year and a half. 

The engineering revisions 
occur when the forms turn up 
late. The June set, for instance, 
has been revised down three 
points to 127, seasonally 
adjusted. 

Last month's second quarter 
estimate for manufacturing in- 
dustries has been revised down- 
wards a full point to 127.8, 
mainly because of engineering. 

The problems over the figures 
mean that the fall in July and 
the consequent drop in the 
three-monthly average are not 
nearly enough to destroy the 
impression of a reasonably sus- 
tained recovery in industry 

For the three months from 
May to July production was 1-J 
per cent up on the previous 
three months, with a 1.5 per 
cent increase for manufacturing. 
In August the equivalent growth 
rates were both 1.7 per cent.

metals, mainly copper and iron. 
This in turn is tuned to the 
demands of the United .States 
company. 

With metal prices at near the 
lowest point for years and a 
recession in the United States, 
lower profits were only to be 
expected for the first half of 
the year. This is as much as 
Sir Val had already said at the 
annual general meeting. 

The fall is made all the worse 
because it compares with a 
particularly prosperous period. 
Net profits are down from £14 
millions to £10* millions on 
sales that rose £2X7 millions to 
£224 millions. 

The source of the problems is 
traceable to the operating 
profits which are down by 27 
per cent to £33.1 millions. 

Some of RTZ’s major subsi- 
diaries. including Rio Algom, 
Pal ab ora and Conzinc Riotinto 
of Australia, had already 
reported much lower profits and 
city analysts had a fair idea of 
the final outcome. 

The main problems came 
from falling copper prices and 
worldwide surplus capacity on 
the smelting front This was to 
some extent offset by an 
increased contribution from the 
Hamers cl ey iron complex in 
Australia. 

The other big. hurdle, again 


TUBE INVESTMENT’S 27p 
per share bid for the Peter- 
borough based Newall Machine 
Tool announced yesterday has 
many of the signs of a sighting 
shot although the company 
(naturally enough) strenuously 
denies the suggestion. 

In the morning, before the 
bid was announced Newall’ s 
shares were quoted at 27p, so 
the Tubes bid hardly looks 
generous. It is fair to say that 
there was a bid premium 
already built into the price for 
rumours of the talks had spread 
from the local press in Peter- 
borough to the City. The 
shares have risen sharply from 
a price of 23p at the beginning 
of the week. 

Tubes commented yesterday 
that it bad had friendly t alks 
with Newall over the post few 
days but that the Newall board 
“ preferred to do their own 
thing” and were not anxious to 
be taken over by such a giant 
organisation. 

Newall’s statement following 
the announcement of the bid 
backs up this interpretation. The 
Newall directors said that they 
had broken-off tbe merger talks 
because they did not consider 
the acquisition of Newall by 
Tubes to be in the interests of 
either Newalls’ shareholders or 
its business at te present time.

Sterling, 

dollar 

seesaw 

nervously 


By TOM TICKELL 

big movements 


There were 
between the pound and the 
dollar is London’s foreign ex- 
change market yesterday. But 
the demand was not all for 
pounds as it had been on Tues- 
day, so that the rate tended to 
seesaw. 

The general mood was nervous 
with the Group of Ten meeting 
and most dealers suspected that 
toe Bank of England had been 
intervening to support the dollar 
at various points in the morn- 
ing. Dealing had begun at 
$2;4705 dollars to toe pound 
and then moved to $2.4725 
before it started to ease back. 

Tbe dollar’s high point over 
the day was when the rate was 
at $2.4695 to. the pound. It did 
not stay at that level long and 
the closing price was $2.4713. 
Dealers said that deals were 
small again and that the bigger 
individual transactions — over £1 
milli on — sometimes affected the 
rates by themselves. 

It was not only the spot mar- 
kets that showed big movements. 
There were also shifts in toe 
forward markets which were less 
active than yesterday, though 
rates remained high. The longer 
the period before delivery the 
bigger was toe discount against 
the dollar. For deliveries in six 
months there was an interest 
rate of 1.55 cents in the dollar, 
where the rate in dollars for 
delivery in one month was only 
just over the half cent mark. 

In Germany the dollar reached 
a new low point for toe second 
day in succession. The rate at 
the fixing was 3.3668 DM-

THE GUARDIAN Thursday September 16 1971 


Bestobell’s 

half year 
profit held 


BestobeU, the engineering 
rod chemical group, today 
mnounced virtually unchanged 
nterim profits and a maintained 
nterim dividend of 12} per cent. 
The pre-tax profit for the first 
ix months of 1971 was 
1,075,000, against £1,036,000 for 
he previous year. 

With the smaller provision 
or losses incurred by associated 
om parries and a reduced charge 
zr taxation, the tlributable 
roflt increased from £500,000 
> £553,000. 

Net profit oe the United King- 
om companies was 33 per cent 
elaw that for the conrespond- 
ig period of last year, due to 
wo main factors. The industrial 
ivisions as a whole were 
ffected by rising costs and 
amed lower profits on margin- 
lly higher sales. 

A substantial loss was 
lcurred on insulation con- 
tracting, but the company 
lelieves this should partially be 
ecovered in the second half 
ear by economies recently 
ltroduced and as the result of 
higher level of activity. 

Net profit from overseas 
deluding Europe! increased 
• 40 per cent over the corre- 
jonding period last year 
rincipally due to improved 
-suits from South and Central 
frica. 

The directors say that UK- 
tiding conditions are likelv to 
main difficult, particularly as 
iey affect the individual divi- 
ons. However, overseas results 
*e satisfactory and present 
idications are that group profit 
»r the year will be better than 
lat of 1970 although the 
nprorement is unlikely to be 
; substantial as indicated 
arlier. 

The total dividend for 1971 is 
xpected to remain unchanged 
t 30 per cent. 

Use in Armstrong 
Equipment profit 

Armstrong Equipment reports 
icreased profit and a higher 
ividend for the year to June 
371. 

Profit before tax is up from 
l million to £1.25 million. Tax 
kes £448.000. against £451,000. 
iie final dividend is 15} per 
:nt making a total of 22} per 
•nt for the year against 20 per 
nt in 1969/70. 


ower profit by 
bifurcated Eng. 

Maintained turnover but 
wer profits for the six months 
> June 1971 were announced 
■sterday by Bifurcated Engin- 


eering. Although turnover was 
held at £2.2 millions profit 
before tax fell from £295,000 to 
£252,000. Profit after tax is 
down from £170,000 to £151,000. 

The interim dividend is main- 
tained at 1.25p. The board says 
the figures reflect a slight 
improvement in demand 
although there has been no J 
dramatic increase in orders 
following the Government's 
attempts to refiate the economy. 

G. W. Sparrow 
raises payout 

G. W. Sparrow is increasing 
its interim dividend to 12} per 
cent (against 12 per cent) and 
forecasting another profits 
record for the full year. 

For the first, half to June 
pre-tax profit is up from 
£151,000 to £205,000 and the 
board says there will be no cor- 
poration tax liability, although 
it will transfer a notional 
amount to reserves. It says the 
new Manchester depot will be 
operational in October. 

Crossley Interim 
raised one point 

The recovery in the private 
construction industry has left 
its mark on the interim profits 
of Crossley Building Products. 

For the six months to June 
profits after tax are up from 
£32,000 to £134,000 and the 
interim dividend has been 
increased from 6} per cent to 
7} per cent 

In an interim statement chair- 
man Sir Rupert Speir says that 
demand for the firm's products 
continues to run at a high level. 

l-for-4 rights issue 
by Dutton-Forshaw 

The Dutton-Forshaw Group 
has made arrangements for a 
rights issue of 1,719.896 ordin- 
ary shares of 25p each at 70p 
each. The shares will be of- 
fered to ordinary shareholders 
registered on September 6 in 
the proportion of one for four. 

Ordinary holders will also be 
entitled to apply for additional 
new ordinary' shares represent-

The Annual General Meeting is being held today, 
at The Connaught Rooms. Great Queen Street, 
London. W.C.2. 

The following are extracts from the circulated 
statement of the Chairman, Mr. J. G. Hugall. F.C.A 

.jL. Since the closure of the shi pyards through strike action 
in 1970 there has been an improvement in industrial 
relations i n the shi pyards. By M ay this year ag reement 
had been reached with almost all trades on a new 
incentive bonus scheme to be associated with a system 
of work measurement. 

Contracts to be completed in the current year will 
w produce a trading loss which should be covered by that 
part of the provision for future losses applicable to those 
contracts. After taking account of profits anticipated 
from other activities it is not expected that the 
Company's reserves will be further reduced. Thereafter 
if the provision for future losses proves adequate our 
reserves should i ncrease si nee from mid 1 972 we shall 
also be engaged on contracts expected to be profitable. 

-fe- At 31 st March 1 971 twenty-two ships-with a total 

deadweight of 1 .129,000 tons were on order, worth more 
than £68 m. During the year several ship contracts were 
secured all of which are expected to be profitable. It is 
not considered prudent to take credit for these profits in 
the provision for future losses. 

The progress in General Engineering reported lastyear 
^ has continued. 

★ We cannot afford wage increases which are not 
matched by improved productivity. Our future 
profitability will be affected by any action H.M. 
Government takes to curb further inflation, by our 
ability to contain costs within estimates and by our own 
efforts to raise productivity so as to maintain or 
improve scheduled deliveries.

THE SELLING of Mineral 
Securities assets to foreign 
companies has increased 
worries over the growing over- 
seas control of Australian 
mineral resources. 

Australians saw Minsec as 
a potential competitor to 
major foreign mineral com- 
panies developing Australian 
deposits, but ill nsec s failure 
has led instead to increased 
foreign participation in Aus- 
tralian mineral ventures as 
overseas controlled groups 
have acquired three profitable 
mining concerns in the 
liquidation of Minsec's hold- 
ings. 

Union Corporation of South 
Africa acquired from Minsec 
a 59.3 per cent of Australia's 
second largest mineral sands 
group. Cudg?n RZ. and also a 
small shareholding in Consoli- 
dated Rutile in which Cudgen. 
has a controlling interest. 
The cost for these purchases 
was $A13.9 millions. 

Then Cominco of Canada 
paid SA9.4 millions for a 54 
per cent holding in Abcrfoyle, 
a leading tin miner. 

Union control of Cudgen 
means that the majority of 
Australian mineral sands out- 
put is controlled by foreign 
concerns. 

Australia produces 95 per 
cent of the world's rutile but 
only one sixth of this annual 
output of 314.000 tons is con- 
trolled by Australian compan- 
ies. Of the country's annual 


Foreign control fear 


production of 348,000 tons of 
zircon. 60 per cent of the 
world output, a quarter is 
mined by Australian compan- 
ies. 

In the third deal concern- 
ing Minsec's portfolio, Nor- 
anda Mines of Canada and the 
Australian Mutual Providence 
Society combined to buy its 
holdings in Queensland Mines 
and its parent Kathleen 
Investments (Australia) in 
March for an estimated SA27J3 
millions. Queensland's Nabar- 
lek uranium deposits have 
since been downgraded and 
Minsec's former holdings in 
these two companies are now 
valued at only $A5 millions. 

One reason why overseas 
companies find it so easy to 
buy into Australian mineral 
ventures is the lade of any 
Government policy concerning 
foreign participation in the 
development of the country's 
natural resources. 

When Minsec started totter- 
ing former Prime Minister 
John Gorton tried to discour- 
age foreign domination of 
Queensland Mines and Kath- 
leen Investment, as well as 
other Australian companies. 
His successor, William 
McMahon, however, has given 
no indication that he plans

made a useful contribution to profits. 

As to the current year, all activities during the first quarter 
have shown increases over a similar period last year. In

A major drive into Europe 
was announced yesterday by Mr 
Quinton Hazell, chairman of 
Quinton Hazell Holdings, at the 
company’s annual meeting in 
Leamington Spa. 

" We are going to put a chain 
of wholesome depots for the 
motor and allied trade across the 
Continent in the same way we 
have in Britain and Australia,” 
be said. 

Mr Hazell explained : “ If we 
are going to continue to compete 
successfully with the motor in- 
dustry with their tied outlets— 
not only in Britain but through- 
out the world — our own depots 
are vital.” . 

Quinton Hazell. which exports 
to 157 countries, is now gearing 
production to increase Its stake 
in Europe. In addition to the 
44-acre factory site recently 
bought from BSA, Mr Hazell 
announced the acquisition of a 
ISO, 000 square foot plant on a 
13-acre site at Preston. Lanca- 
shire. 

The property, bought from the 
plastics division of English 
Electric, is to provide a 50 per 
cent increase in production 
capacity for the group's exhaust 
components manufacturing divi- 
sion. 


Exports of 
sweets up 


The total value of the UK 
confectionery industry’s exports 
rose by £2.600,000 — 45.7 per 
cent during tbe first half of this 
year, compared with the corres- 
ponding period of 1970. the 
Cocoa, Chocolate and Confec- 
tionery Alliance announced yes- 
terday. 

The value was a record 
£19,700,000. The volume of 
chocolate and sugar confection- 
ery exports a iso reached a 
record level— 51,000 tons com- 
pared with 47,400 tons in the 
first six months of 1970. ^ 


Mr Walter Salomon, chairman 
of Westminster Trust Holdings, 
the property company already 
on the receiving end of an £84 
millions bid from Land Securi- 
ties, faced a two-hour barrage 
of questions from a share- 
holders’ ginger group yester- 
day. 

The ginger group, which 
claims the support of more 
than 13 per cent of the shares, 
is unhappy about a deal done 
some two years ago for the pur- 
chase of Thomas C. Stewart 
(Contractors I and the 80p-a- 
share offer from Land Securi- 
ties. This bid already has irre- 
vocable acceptances from 56 per 
cent of the Westminster share- 


holders and has the backing of 
the board. 

Yesterday's annual meeting 
and the extraordinary meeting 
which followed — requisitioned 
by the ginger group led by Mr 
L. I. Casper and Mr B. Simmons 
of merger consultant. L. C. 
Securities — saw the chairman 
closely quizzed on these and a 
□umber of other points But 
the dissidents met with little 
support from the 80 or so mem- 
bers present. 

Two resolutions put at the 
extraordinary meeting, the first 
calling for an up-to-date revalua- 
tion of tbe company's property 
portfolio, and the second an 
independent accounts report 
into the trading activities of 
Stewart, were overwhelmingly 
defeated on a show of hands. 
Proxy support was already 
strongly in favour of the board. 

A spokesman for the ginger 
group indicated after the meet- 
ings that they were still unhappy 
with the situation, especially 
the Stewart purchase and would 
like more information on this 
deal. A private meeting was to 
be arranged with the Westmin- 
ster chairman to discuss the 
matter. 

If tills proved unsatisfactory, 
the spokesman said, they would 
consider approaching the depart- 
ment of trade and industry oyer 
the Stewart deaL ^ 


to restrict overseas activities 
in the mineral field. And Mr 
Gorton once said that Mr 
McMahon, as Finance Minis- 
ter. showed “an almost 
pathetic dog-like gratitude for 
foreign investments.” 

The fact that foreign com- 
panies have spent money on 
exploration is helping them, 
through tax write-offs, to take 
over companies that are oper- 
ating. 

For example, Cominco is 
believed to have exploration 
losses of about $A2 millions 
which' are tax - deductible 
against its anticipated earn- 
ings from Aberfoyle. And 
Noranda’s Australian subsidi- 
ary has accumulated losses of 
$A2.5 millions and Union 
Corporation also has some los- 
ses to offset profit from Cud- 
gen and Consolidated Rutile. 

Sir Ian McLennan, chair- 
man of Australia's biggest 
company. Broken Hill Pty, 
last year told an Institute 
of Directors conference in 
Sydney : “ If overseas com- 
panies are to continue to in- 
crease their control over the 
mining industry at the rate it 
was growing between 1963-7 
there will be a virtu ally un- 
tenable situation by 1980.” 

He suggested tax ‘conces- 


MARKET REPORT 


sions for investors u 
Australian owned mining com- 
panies might help solve the 
problem. 

But the managing director 
of Hamersley Holding. R. T. 
Madigan, had a different 
opinion. Hamersley is con- 
trolled by Conzlnc Rio Tinto 
of Australia, the biggest unit 
in Rio Tinto-Zinc of Britain. 

In a speech to the Austra- 
.lian Society of Security 
Analysts in Melbourne, Mr 
Madigan said Hamersley in- 
vested SA300 millions in 
fixed assets. He said within 
five years expenditure . on 
plant equipment and mining 
development would increase 
investment to SA800 millions. 
By that time, Mr Madigan 
could probably claim to have 
created 8A2.500 to 8A3.000 
millions of income for Aus- 
tralia. 

Mr Madigan said : “The new 
boom is providing the 
capital and the scale which 
will be the base for second- 
ary industries which, in their 
turn, will be great and will be 
the essence of the Australian 
economy for the next 
century.” 

Dividends and interest were 
“a small price for Australia 
to pay.”— AP-Dow Jones. 


Secondary issues 
make running 


London stock markets again 
lacked a decided trend, though 
business continued at a reason- 
able level yesterday. Wall 
Streets current downturn and 
the emergence of one or two 
testing bcurdles on the wages 
front like the miners’ big claim, 
kept buyers away from the 
leaders which closed lower. 

However, good features were 
not hard to find among second- 
ary issues, and some active 
spots developed following com- 
pany statements. The “Finan- 
cial Times” index ended 3.8 
points down at 425.fi. 

The start of the crucial 
Group-of-Ten talks coincided 
with a fresh, though modest, 
demand for gilts which rose by 
l to 1 and occasionally i. 
Sterling's strength on the for- 
eign exchanges also helped 
sentiment 

Leading industrials spent a 
quiet session and mostly dosed 
3p to op off. Electricals claimed 


a good deal of attention with 
Plessey fluctuating rapidly fol- 
lowing their results to close 
unchanged at 136p (after ex- 
tremes of 140p and 132}pL The 
profits short-fall was not as bad 
as feared by some market men. 

Decca “A” 196p, put on 7p 
with the aid of their new TV ! 
range. j 

BATS. 8p down at 322p were 
prominently lower in tobaccos. 
Breweries, too, lost ground as 
speculative buying dried up. 
The bid denial depressed 
Watney. but after reaching 149p, 
renewed demand brought a 
recovery to 152p. 5p easier on 
balance. 

Fears of substantial steel 
price increases clipped ship- 
building issues among engineer 
ings, where the go-ahead for the 
RB-211 project helped Rolls- 
Royce contractors. Tubes, a 
good market lately, added 3p 
more to 450p in front of the 
bid for Newall Machine. 


All-time record profits 

The Chairman’s report continues 

Although' these results are substantially ahead of our vnrfaB 
achievements, they should not be regarded as exceptional. Over toe 
past few years your company has continued to m s^ ana 

increase its turnover. Your company is now poised to make further 
substantia! progress from a very secure and highly organised oase._ 
Retail Division. Our PRINZ photographic range continues to 
proride the major portion of our sales and remains unequalled in 
both quality and value. . 

In the growing audio and hi-fi section we are expanding our'tery 
successful PRINZSOU N D range of products. We are and intend to 
remain a very strong force in this field in the future. At the same time 
we arc 'always experimenting with other merchandise in compatible 
fields to extend our range and to maximise the use oE the selling areas 

^^The recent reductions m Purchase Tax and abolition of consumer 
credit restrictions have proved a valuable stimulus to our wade. 

By April 1972 a further 1 1 stores will have been cpened—20 new 
stores are budgeted for 1972T73. 

Processing Division. The excellent results are due to the continuing 
successful exploitation of the premium promotion markets, a field in 
which we arc now the market leader. 

We plan to'cffect a major extension within the next two or three 
years, and provide ourselves with the necessary capacity to handle 
further substantial volume increases. ..... . , 

European Sales Division. Shareholders will already have received 
a detailed circular issued at the time of our acquisition of Merkurcx 
AB in May 1971. In view of the dale of the completion of the 
acquisition no profits have been included in these Group accounts, 
but the assets have been consolidated in the Group Balance Sheet. 
Merkurex operating from Sweden, and Chinon Sales S A operating 
from Switzerland, will enable the Group to obtain the benefits of 
selling the PRINZ, PRINZSOUND and CHINON ranges to tbe lead- 
ing European multiple and mail order houses. 

Financial Re-Orijanisation. At the recent Extraordinary General 
Meeting we took the opportunity to bring tbe share capital of the 
company more into line with, its assets. Aose for one scrip issue was 
made on 2nd June 1971. .... 

The Group is well able to finance both its own major internal 
growth programme and still remain in an advantageous position for 

new acquisitions. ' . 

-Future Developments. We have already acquired a stake m the 
future of the Common Market. The leisure field in which we operate 
is one of the high growth areas of the future and we arc confident that 
in the next few years' we will improve still further our present market 
share, it is our .firm intention to expand your company into allied 
.leisure fields as opportunities arise. 

Current Trading. Group profits in the firsti four months of the 
current year are well ahead of last year and we look forward to 
another year of substantially increased profits.

Zambian Anglo American Limited 


INCORPORATED IN BERMUDA 


STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT MR. H. F. OPPENHEIMER 


In last year’s statement it was announced that Zamanglo’s policy 
would be to maintain and, where possible, increase its Zambian 
investments, but also to seek new business opportunities throughout 
tbe world In which to invest the capital funds released from Zambia, 
following the acquisition by the Zambian Government of a 51 per 
cent interest in Zamanglo’s major assets, the Zambian copper mines. 
It is pleasing to reportnow that ourfiist toll year since re-incorporaii cm 
in Bermuda has seen considerable progress towards these aims. 
Zamanglo has taken advantage of the substantial flow of funds from 
tbe Zambia Copper Investments Limited (ZCI) loan stocks redemp- 
tion payments and the possibilities of operation from Bermuda, to 
make investment in Australia and the United States where the long- 
term prospects for growth are favourable. At the same time our 
Zambian copper mining interests have targets for increased production. 
"While these may be difficult to achieve by 1974, as planned, there is 
no reason to doubt that the targets are, in themselves, capable of 
fulfilment 

PROFITS 

After receiving dividends of £9794000 and interest and sundry 
income of £4424 000, Zamanglo’s consolidated set profit after tax 
for the period ended 30th June, 1971 was £13 934 000. This is 
£2 971 000 less than the previous year's profits, which of course 
included special terminal dividends from Rhokana Corporation 


Limited and Nchanga Consolidated Copper Mines (1937) Limited, 
tbe high level of which was primarily attributable to increased copper 
production and high selling prices. 

Copper prices have since fallen substantially and this, together 
with the Mufulira accident to which, reference is made below, caused 
a reduction in dividends from Nchanga Consolidated Copper Mines < 
Limited (NCCM) and Roan Consolidated Mines limited (ROM) • 
which led, in turn, to ZCI paying lower dividends in its March and 
June 1971 quarters. 

The Company paid an interim dividend of 25p and, in line with 
our declared intention of passing on to shareholders the bulk of 
Zamanglo’s income, a final dividend of 15p has been declared. These 
dividends absorb £12 667 000 and leave, after transfers to capital 


large mixed Arming operation, winch will cost an estimated K4 
milli on and will eventually produce a substantial proportion of 
Zambia’s total output of maize, beef and milk. This capital expendi- 
ture is being financed by loan facilities from Zamanglo. This is the 
largest private investment ever to he made in agriculture in Zambia, 
and I am pleased that jt has been possible for us to participate in 
this vital area of national growth. The saving to Zambia in foreign 
exchange as a result of the scheme is estimated at K30 million over 
a ten-year period. 

AUSTRALIA 

X would now Hce to report on the progress ma de in pursuing our 
policy of diversification, to which reference has been made. An 
opportunity to become involved in a major new undertaking arose 
following the decision, by the Anglo American Corporation and 
Charter Consolidated Groups to expand their activities in Australia, 
through die formation of a new company, Australian Anglo American 
Limited, with a capital of about £9.8 million. 

Zamanglo was offered and has accepted an equity interest in tho 
sew company of 30 per cent at. a cost of approximately £3 .3 ra- 
ft is intended at an appropriate stage to invite the Australian public 
to subscribe for shares. 

Since its formation Australian Anglo American has continued 
with the extensive prospecting programme and other activities 
previously conducted by the Anglo American and Charter Consoli- 
dated Groups. To date no economically viable deposits have bees 
discovered, out several of the current prospecting ventures in which 
tbe company is participating show promise. In addition, exploratory 
discussions have been held with Poseidon Limited, and Australian 


June, 1971 £4308000. 

Shareholders will remember that, with effect from 1st January, 
1970, the Zambian copper mining operations of the Anglo American 
Corporation Group were transferred to NCCM and those of the 
Roan Selection Trust Group were transferred to RCM, to facilitate 
the acquisition by the Zambian Government of a 51 pea- cent interest 
in each company. Zamanglo’s resulting interests under this , re- 
organisation are held through ZCI which holds 49 per cent of the 
issued equity capital of NCCM and 17-25 per cent of RCM. As 
explained in the director’s report, Zamanglo' now holds 49.98 per cent 
of ZCI which, like your company, is Bermudian-registered. 

COPPER MINING 

In the annual report and accounts of ZC3, which ares details of 
NCCM and RCM production and financial results, the past year was 
marred by a serious accident at ROM’s Mnfulira mine, where a 
massive underground mud-rush caused a tragic loss of life and a 
total production setback. It was a considerable achievement that the 
mine recommenced production within two months. While it is 
currently operating at about 40 per cent of tbe planned production 
rale prior to the accident, every effort is being made to maximise 
production from the other divisions of RCM. 

NCCM has set itself the target of increasing its copper production 
by approximately 100000 tonnes to 500000 tonnes by 1974. RCM, 
likewise, is aiming to increase its production to 400 000 tonnes. 
Although there may be problems of timing because of the diffiailty 
or securing engineering capacity and the effect of international 
infiat ion on construction, costs, these production targets remain 
feasible. 

Together with dividends from NCCM and RCM of £12 849000, 
ZCl's profit after tax for tbe year ended 30th June, 1971, its first full 
year of operations, was £13 979 000. In accordance with its deaared 
policy, ZCI paid out virtually all of its profits including those 
unappropriated from the previous transitional period and, from 
total dividends of £18 414 000, Zamanglo received £9 282 000. . 

ZAMBIAN INDUSTRY 

Members will recall that in my last statement I explained fits 
establishment of Zamanglo Industrial Corporation Limited (Zamic), 
which is our vehicle for investment in the agricultural and industrial 
sectors in Zambia. Zamic has had a good maiden year with dfvidend 
income totalling K871 000. of which Zambia Breweries contributed 
K441 000. Zamic ’s operating profit was K 896 000 which, together with 
estimated income tax recoverable of K382 000, enabled Zamic to 
pay a dividend to Zamanglo of K900 000 (£525 000). 

Zambia is suffering at present from a critical shortage of a number 
of basic food requirements, and considerable imports have been 
necessary to meet national derpand. Zamic has therefore launched a 


the company is participating show promise. In addition, exploratory 
discussions have been held with Poseidon Limited, and Australian 
Anglo American has made a bridging loan until 30th November 
1971 of ASlOJin. (£4Sch) available to that company. 

Zamanglo also invested US57.7mto acquire from an associated 
company an interest is Engelhard Hanovia Inc., in which 70 per cent 
of the issued common share capital is held by Anglo American 
Corporation and associates.. A major re-organisation of Engelhard 
Hanovia to put that company into a financial position where it can 
take advantage of suitable- new business opportunities has almost 
been completed. _ _ . - ~ 

ENGELHARD HANOVIA 

Engelhard Hanovia’s major investment is a 44 per cent holding of 
tbe common stock of Engelhard Minerals and Chemicals Corporation 
(EMC). The principal activities of BMC are the refining, fabricating 
and marksting of precious metals; the' marketing of ferrous and 
non-ferrous ores, metals and minerals; and the minin g, processing 
and distribution of son-metallic minerals.. 

EMC has for same years conducted research into the development 


catalytic convenor on its vehicles to be sold in California id 1974, 
when emission controls standards become effective. EMC has been 
further advised that it is Ford’s intentfonto negotiate an agreement 
with Engelhard for the supply of its convertor devices to cover all 
the vehicles to be sold by it in 1975 when U.S. federal standards will 
have to be met throughout tbe United States. 

Earnings per share on a fully diluted basis for the six months 
ended 30th June 1971 declined to us US S 14.0 million, equal to 
46 cents per share, as compared with 55 cents per share for tbe first 
half of 1970. This reflected both the general decrease in the level of 
economic activity in the United Stales and the strike earlier in the 
year at (be Engelhard Industries division. 

FUTURE PROSPECTS 

We look forward to the development of these new investment 
interests, and we shall ttke advantage of other opportunities of 
suitable new business. . Despite this diversification, however, our 


DHWB6 luuuirtijr is uKitiuw w gran importance to us. It is particu- 
larly gratifying that the first year of our group's partnership v?kh the 
Zambian Government in the operations of NCCM has been very 
successful, with copper productioaequal to the highest ever achieved 
and costs only slightly higher lbah.nl the pluvious year. 

At the present there are major uncertainties as to the future of 
the international monetary system and, consequently, the further 
development of world trade. However there is reason for confidence 
that in the' long term the demand for. the products of a diversified 
mining organisation must grow, and vrt shall plm the devel opment 
of our Company accordingly. .

THE GUARDIAN Thursday September 18 1971 


Did Bank of 


ROBERT VESCO thought he 
was secretly acting for Bank of 
America in August, 1970, when 
he moved to aid financially 
troubled IOS Limited: Mr Vesco 
explained how his intervention 
in IOS took place to a private 
hearing in April with united 
States Security and Exchange 
Commission investigators. The 
transcript of. his testimony, 
under oath, became public only 
recently as part of a court 
record. 


America pull 


the rug from 


under Vesco? 


There was nothing in writing 
between him and Bank of 
America, Mr Vesco testified, and 
towards the end of August, 
1970, the bank backed away 
from an arrangement. That, he 
said, left him alone with a multi- 
mill ion-dollar obligation and “ a 
serious case of indigestion." But 
for about two weeks after the 
announcement on August 9, 
1970. that he would provide cash 
for IOS, Mr Vesco understood 
that he had a secret oral agree- 
ment with a top officer of the 
bank, Alvin C. Rice. 


'Clean-out’ 


Under that agreement, Mr 
Vesco said, the Bank of America 
wax quietly to provide the 
money to keep IOS in business 
while he did a “-comprehensive 
review and clean-out job” at 
the Geneva-based complex of 
mutual funds, banks, and insur- 
ance companies. Once IOS's 
finances and reputation had 
been improved sufficiently the 
bank “ presumably ” was to 
emerge and buy IOS, Mr Vesco 
said. 


nowhere near making any kind 
of agreement No specific finan- 
cing plan or takeover bid. was 
considered, he said. 

Mr Vesco “sent us a great 
deal of information,’' Mr Rice 
said, “ but I can’t say we ever 
looked at it very closely, be- 
cause we didn't have any under- 
standing in principle that we 
were going to do anything. I 
myself didn’t look at it closely. 

Mr Rige says that a represen- 
tative from the bank’s London 
office at one point went to 
Geneva, at Mr Vesco’s sugges- 
tion, “to try and determine if 
there was any way that the bank 
alone or with others could play 
a constructive part in IOS.’’ But 
as for ” backing out" of an 
agreement, he says, “since we 
were never in, 1 can hardly say 
that we withdrew.” 

Mr Rice said that if Bank of 
America had wanted to approach 
IOS it would not have used Mr 
Vesco as a front. “ We can do 
that directly " Mr Rice said he 
had been questioned by the SEC 
about the Bank of America’s 
idle though he said he was not 
aware of Mr Vesco’s testimony 
until a reporter informed him.

in IOS, probably in the form of 
warrants to buy IOS stock. 
International Controls was to 
split that interest with the bank. 


sentatives were discussing^ IOS 
with " several institutions.

That rescue operation was not 
successful. Mr Vesco’s twUmony 

is the first pubUcmdicaUonthat 

the bank ever had consiaereci 
taking over control or 
whose old management has oeen 
accused by several governments 


"We, in effect, would have 
gotten half the deal for nothing,” 
Mr Vesco told the SEC. 


Mr Vesco paraphrased the oral 
understanding this way : \ . . 


they (the Bank of America) 
would lend to a Bahamian sub- 
sidiary of ours for the purpose, 
in turn, of relending the money 
to IOS, with the intention that 


Mr Rice, now an executive 
vice-president of the bank, said 
the bank had “ a lot of conver- 
sations ” about IOS with Mr 
Vesco, but the bank came 


put a bow tie around the pack- 
age, and deliver it to the BOA, 
who would subsequently then 
make an offer for the entire 
company." 

The loan would run to $10 
ciltion or $20 millions, Mr 
Vesco said. In return, IOS was

world bond market 


Investment in anti-pollution 
equipment by major Japanese 
manufacturing firms is increas- 
ing sharply compared with 
other business investments, 
according to a survey just 
released by the Japan Develop- 
ment Bank. 

The survey covers a total of 
587 major Japanese manufactur- 
ing firms. It shows that during 
fiscal 1971, which began in 
April, companies plan to invest 
a total of 302,000 million yen 
(£372 millions) in anti-pollution 
equipment, 86 per cent more 
than in 1970. 

The figures represent 6.2 per 
cent of total investment, com- 
pared with 4.1 per cent during 
1970. 

Steel producers are the larg- 
est investors in anti-pollution 
equipment,

By RAMON EISENSTEIN 


It will be followed by another 
one, later this month, from 
Continental Oil. The rate for 
DM denominated 15-year term 
loans is about 8 per cent but it 
may have fallen by the time the 
two issues come out 


inm of about 12 per cent on the 
price of the shares. Inter- 
national Standard Electric is 
raising $25 millions through a 
direct Eurobond issue bearing 
interest at 9 per cent The high 
rate will probably make it a 
success. 


This week Cummins Engine 
and International Standard Elec- 
tric, a subsidiary of the giant 
International Telephones and 
Telegraphs, have both 
announced their intention to 
seek long term international 
capital. 

Cummins is raising a $20

These are not the only straws 
in the wind. Dealers in the 
secondary market are hoping 
that they will now be able to 
sell to outsiders after a long 
period of doing business with 
one another. 

One of the reasons of the 
renewed hope is that Enel, the 
Italian State electricity board, 
is repaying early $300 millions 
of medium term loans. 

The size of it has already 
helped to lower short term 
Eurodollar rates. But secondary 
market dealers think that much

What actually happened was 
that Mr Vesco, who is chairman 
and chief executive of Inter- 
national Controls, arranged a $5 
millions loan in additional 
credit for IOS from other 
sources. For that, International 
Controls received warrants to 
buy three milMon IOS common 
shares, plus two seats on the 
IOS hoard. Mr Vesco became 
chairman of a newly formed IOS 
finance committee- 


Dominant 


Though Mr Vesco said in 
August, 1970, that he was in 
terested only in protecting his 
company’s investment, he 
quickly became the dominant 
figure in IOS. In February 
this year, he was elected, chair- 
man of tiie board. Since then 
be has been trying to get work- 
ing control of IOS stock for 
International Controls. 


Before Mr Vesco's SEC testi- 
mony in April it was known 
that Bank of America once had 
beea interested in taking part 
in an IOS rescue operation. In 
June, 1970, newspapers reported 
that the bank was part of a 
consortium of European and US 
banks headed by B&nque Roths- 
child of Paris negotiating a 
possible loan with the interim 
management of IOS. At that 
time Bank of America acknow- 
ledged that its European repre- 


and securities regulations. 

Mr Vesco told SEC lawyers 
he first learned of the difficulties 
of IOS from talks in Geneva m 
April or May, 1970, with C. 
Henry Buhl, a US citizen m 
charge of managing IOS mutual 
funds. Mr Buhl had handled 
the purchase of 
national Control bonds in- 19B8. 

Mr Vesco was talking to him 
about an offer by International 
Controls to buy back the bonds 
in exchange for new bonds vmn 
a lower face value and a rngner 
interest rate, an exchange to 

which IOS agreed. (Such a pact 
would have reduced Inter- 
national Controls’ bond debt 
and increased the, IOS funds 
bond onterest earnings.) 

Early in June, 1970, Air Vesco 
said, Mr Buhl telephoned him to 
say, “apparently things are 
falling apart" Then Mr Vesco 

S honed the Bank of Americas 
[r Rice, a senior vice-president 
at that time. Mr Rice, accord- 
ing to Mr Vesco, said the bank 
had a “ continuing interest in 
IOS but did not want it made 
known, „ _ . , 

Mr Vesco said he called the 
bank because “ they are our 
(International Controls') Bank. 
Bank of America had lent Inter- 
national Controls more than $20 
millions In 1968, later repaid 
with proceeds of loans from 
Prudential Insurance Company 
of America.

IJS directors thought the 
price too high and rejected tte 
proposals, Mr Veso ° said. After 
another talk with Mr Rice, he 
iJSteto IOS suggesting a smal- 
ler loan at a lesser price to 
keep the ball rolling- 

Meanwhile, the proWems of 
IOS worsened Mr Oornfeld 
threatened a

Vesco received. a tn^SSKSf 
call from Marvin H. Hoffman,

said he called Prudential Insur- 
ance immediately. International 

Controls’ loan agreement with 
the insurance company restric- 
ted International Controls out- 
side agreements, and Pruden- 
tial’s approval would have been 
necessary for International. Con- 
trols to advance money to 105. 

Mr Vesco said Prudential 
approved, and he called Mr Rice 
at Bank of America again.

of the money will be recycled 
into the bond business. 

Another reason for optimism 
is that most dealers think that 
the dollar has already been dis- 
counted enough in terms cf the 
mark and that there is now a 
case for switching back into 
dollar bonds. 

The mere fact that there has 
been no panic in the relatively 
new international bond market 
is in itself a good sign. Another 
one is that new ideas for using 
international capital are still 
pouring in. 

The latest one, announced yes- 
terday, is the proposal to estab- 
lish secondary mortgage markets 
in Europe for all sorts of 
mortgages. The proposal was 
made by Mr Preston Martin, 
chairman of the United States 
Federal Home Loans Associa- 
tion, to the eighth world con- 
gress of the International Union 
of Building Societies.

« phrase “ Total Energy ” has 
been used increasingly over the 
past few years and is mainly associated 
with the introduction of large quann- 
ties of natural gas to Bntish mdus^. 
Consequently the subject has been 
thought to be new .and has g^erea 
its own veil of mystique. 

however, is not new ^nnait 
has been practised, at least in pare, 
by cost-conscious fuel users for many 


Total 

energy 


years * 

In 'reality it Is the application of 
sound engineering practice to the field 
of energy utilisation. The rising cost 
of all fuels and the introduction ot 
natural gas in large quantities, plus 
the development of reliable equip- 
ment, has now led to a renewal of 
interest in this particular aspect of 
operating costs in industry and coni' 
merce, where considerable savings 
may he achieved. There have been 
many definitions of total energy but 
in essence they all come down to the 
following: it is the use of a single 
energy source to provide all the vanea 
energy requirements of a location or 
part of same. Generally this means 
on-site power generation using 
multiple units, recovering the waste 
heat from the power generators and 
using it In a suitable form. 

Savings in production costs over tbe 
present-day conventional methods are 
twofold. 


by T. J- Wingfield 


of Project Engineering 
and Management Service* 


First, by using a single bulk fuel 
source it is possible to negotiate a 
cheaper rate for the supply of such 
fuel from a single source as distinct 
from purchasing lesser quantities of 
energy from two or more sources. 
Inbuilt safeguards can be incorporated 
in a total energy scheme to counteract 
any temporary discontinuity in tbe 
supply of the selected single fuel, by 
either having standby storage, -or 
dual fuel generators. Depending on the 
single fuel source selected for a par- 
ticular application the power 
generators may have either diesel or 
dual fuel prime movers, gas turbines, 
or steam turbines. 

Secondly, further savings can be 
achieved by recovering waste heat, 
both from the power generator prime 
movers and possibly from other plant 
items within the works concerned. 
Such waste heat is recovered and 
re-used as either one or a combination 
of: hot water, low pressure steam, 
high pressure steam, or hot waste 
gases. 

One of the growing concerns of our 
society is environmental pollution. 
There are too many ways -of polluting 
the environment and some of them 
can be attributed to industry and 
commerce. The more common of these 
are atmospheric pollution from 
chimneys and vent stacks, and pollu- 
tion of water courses and canals from 
industrial effluents including hot water 
from power generation. 

The application of the total energy 
concept can be useful in eliminating 
or reducing some forms of pollution. 
There are two obvious areas in which 
the greatest contributions da be made 
and these are atmospheric pollution 
and thermal pollution of waterways. 

Many factories discharge vast 
quantities of hot dirty gases hourly 
into the atmosphere which, as well as 
causing the obvious pollution, is an 
enormous waste of energy. The appli- 
ca titan of the concept of total energy, 
or energy utilisation, can reduce the 
pollution and at the same time may 
recover a proportion of the hitherto 
wasted energy. These principles can 
also be applied to assist in the disposal 
of solid and liquid industrial Wastes. 

One installation which is applying 
these principles is a laminates factory 
in the United States. In the production 
of resin bonded laminates large quan- 
tities of steam are required and at 
the same time considerable quantities 



of waste products arise. By utilising 
the energy within these products to 
provide steam for process uses, a 
reduction in the quantity of * , p. re ~ 
viously used can be made. In addition 
the problems and costs of vraste 
disposal can be drastically cut This 
plant, which is due to come on stream 
in 1972, is expected to recover jts 
capital cost within five years ana 
reduce the factory’s pollution potential 
down to stack gases innocuous enough 
to satisfy the most stringent pollution 
standards. 

Thermal pollution of waterways 
usually arises due to the use of water 
as a coolant in process plants, power 
plants, etc. Although large quantities 
of energy are disposed of in this way 
it is all in the form of low grade heat, 
i.e. the temperature of tbe effluent 
water is too low to be of much use 
and the volumes to be dealt with are, 
by comparison, high. 

However, in some cases it is possible 
to dispense with water or the cooling 
media, and use fan-assisted air 
coolers; alternatively it is now pos- 
sible to utilise the low grade heat to 
give mechanical energy. Other' ways 
of utilising the otherwise wasted 
energy in effluent water include 
recovering the heat in heating/air 
conditioning units for adjacent offices, 
housing estates, etc. 

Hence, in addition to reducing 
pollution, the application of total 
energy principles assists In con- 
serving energy resources, which 
consequently can lead to a reduction 
in fuel costs. 

There are many way s in which total 
energy can be applied but each situa- 
tion is different and has to be con- 
sidered on its own merits. Many people 
are under the impression that It is 
only in industry on a large scale that 
total energy will find its main applica- 


tions, but this is not so. It can find 
application throughout industry and m 
a P wide section of commerce. The 
problem therefore exists^ for the, 
potential user to decide wtoCh is the. 
best system for him -and where he can.-^ 
obtain the necessary information, upon^. 
which to base a decision. FortmiatelyVj 
there are a number of different.;? 

S< ft r< 3 S ‘ important, however, to remre 
that although the basic, concept is 


GENERA* 



letlUliUUCS duu 

to be able to undertake the necessary . 
design 

Every possible total energy applies- ;-r. 
tion will require a feasibility study,;: - • 
to be carried out to determine the £ 
economic viability of the proposed ! ” i " -• 

system. Following that is the detailed ' • 
design and installation of the system. - 
If required it is possible to obtain ; - : *■ 
operation and maintenance contracts , 1 ;- :. .' 
for the equipment As a result of a - 
favourable feasibility study, many 1.. . - 
firms find themselves in the position ,.T- ; . 

of having an economically viable r\’ 
scheme but no capital with which to 
finance it; in these cases it is possible ~ 
to arange leasing facilities, thereby .--- - 
relieving the business of the -problem ]-^z 
of capital outlay. - 

The above service can he obtained .:r ! - ’ ' 
from specialist organisations either as - 
a package deal or in part The current * * 

general trend is towards a service that 
provides a package deal where the 
client deals with one organisation from 
feasibility study through to installa- 
tion, operation, maintenance, ancL 
arranging leasing facilities.

THE PROPERTY people of Britain — 
the developers, the surveyors, the 
architects, the contractors and, not 
least, the financiers — are looking at 
Europe and the prospect of British 
entry into tbe European Economic 
Community with a mixture of confi- 
dence and aneasy nail-biting. There 
is already substantial British invest- 
ment in both mainland real estate and 
professional expertise, but it is a rela- 
tively small fraction of the potential 
investment level if — or. in more con- 
fident tone, when — the British real 
estate organisations become entirely 
European orientated. Britain should 
by then, of course, be part of Europe 
and reorintation will mean no lessen- 
ing of the pace in this country — just 
an expansion of interests. 

The uneasy nail-biting is the result 
of a realisation of some of the com- 
plications of property development in 
Europe. The British development in- 
dustry— its turnover has for a long 
time warranted the description “ in- 
dustry ”■ — has had a bad enough time 
coping with the frustrations and com- 
plexities of its indigenous laws and 
regulations, its financial basis and its 
traditions. To add to these the prob- 
lems of development in Europe — the 
many different traditions and tbe net- 
work of different laws, regulations, 
and taxes — is enough to encourage the 
strongest chairman to nibble quietly 
in his room while he listens to his 
language training long-playing records 
which rarely seem to offer the German 
or French for “ development apprai- 
sal ” or “ profit rents.” 

Traditionally, the British developer 
has been and is served by tbe British 
professional real estate organisations. 
Some of the larger firms of surveyors 
and agents have themselves invested 
substantial sums of money to gain 
experience of Europe either directly, 
in association with local real estate 
firms in France, Belgium, and Holland 
or a combination of the two. Firms 
like Jones, Lang. Wootton, Richard 
Ellis, Weatheralf Green and Smith. 
Hillier Parker and Knight, Frank and 
Rutley, have become almost old bands 
In Europe, but most of their work 
has been in the service of British 
property developers or sit ilar British 
interests. 

It is no secret that these major 
firms have spent many thousands of 
pounds establishing their European 
bridgeheads. They have invested in 
a future which could now show band- 
some returns and, in doing so, have 
developed an expertise which is in 
relatively short supply. Equally im- 
portant is the development of relation- 
ships with local real estate firms — that 
necessary local knowledge — and those 
essential connections with local and 
national authorities which play as 


by TOM ALLAN 

important a part in the development 
process as they do in this country. 
Some of the firms have opened offices 
in Brussels, Paris, and Rotterdam. 

They can now show growing staffs 
combining British and local national 
skills — a necessary cocktail, for the 
truth of the matter is that the British 
developer for so long accustomed to 
the services of the large British real 
estate organisation will find no equiva- 
lent in Europe other than those formed 
by British professional firms. 

Already 16 per cent of the 130 or 
so property companies listed in the 
London Stock Exchange operate in 
Europe- In addition, major firms of 
contractor developers like Taylor 
Woodrow have substantial and increas- 
ing interests, and British hotel groups 
have gone even beyond the Six — to 
Spain and the Algarve in the deep 
south. And, of course, there are more 
than just the publicly quoted com- 
panies. There are several private 
companies which are little smaller 
than some of the public ones and 
which have made a real impact on 
the development scene across the 
Channel. Mackenzie HiU have formed 
a subsidiary which after only two 
years already has about £12 millions’ 
worth of work in France and a good 
looking programme in the thinking 
and negotiation stage elsewhere. 

Invasion 

A large part of the pressure for 
British development activity in the 
EEC is likely to come from the major 
financial institutions which have so 
great a weight of funds to invest. 
There is still, on tbe face of it, pJeDty 
of development and therefore invest- 
ment opportunity in the United King- 
dom but the insurance companies and 
pension funds have said often enough 
that there can never be a sufficient 
number of really good development 
propositions. Some of the insurance 
companies have begun to consolidate 
their forces for the invasion. Com- 
mercial Union’s takeover of Holloway 
Sackville gives that organisation an 
efficient and experienced development 
team possessed of a substantial Euro- 
pean and Commonwealth record. They 
are not akrae. Most of the major in- 
vestors have established links of one 
kind or another and many of them 
have already become involved with 
European development. The French 
investment potential through SICOMT 
(Societie Immobiliere pour le Com- 
merce et l’lndustrie) is a competitior 
with tax advantages but there is such 
a weight of investment available for 
the right schemes from United King- 
dom sources that there will certainly 
be a substantial increase of interest 

But the weight of investment will 
mean little without expertise and sub- 


stantial experience of the European 
property market And perhaps most 
important is a realisation that stand- 
ard United Kingdom practice catering 
for standard United Kingdom demand 
and tastes cannot merely be transplan- 
ted with hope of success in Ghent, 
Lyons, and Milan. There are problems 
even when the English speaking peoples 
export popular developments to one 
another. The bowling alley craze in 
America spluttered like a damp squib 
in England until it was realised that 
wh3t was family therapy m America 
was not family therapy here. 

If there is room for mistake and 
mis understanding between Anglo- 
Saxons, the risks in Europe must be 
even greater. And the professional 
societies themselves are constantly 
encouraging greater cooperation and 
understanding between the develop- 
ment professions in the United King- 
dom. It is almost a clichd that 
communications between the profes- 
sions must be improved but no one 
denies that there are areas of mis- 
understanding and difficulty which 
have been debated for years without 
solution. 

Few members of the property 
professions believe that UK member- 
ship of the EEC will mean an invasion 
of the UK property scene by French, 
German, or Italian developers. But 
London office rents are twice those of 
any other European capital city and 
the attractions of investment in 
London property must have an appeal 
to developers from the mainland. Some 
of London’s buildings have been 
backed by mainland money and there 
is plenty more where that came from. 
It is however true that few, if any. of 
tho non-British real estate organisa- 
tions on the mainland have bridge- 
heads or even toeholds here. There 
have been rumours of American offers 
for estate agency firms in London but 
nothing has apparently emerged from 
Bonn or Paris. Any mainland company 
contemplating development here will 
need the services of a UK real estate 
firm — the fiscal and legislative maze is 
just as bad, if not worse, in this 
country. 

This perhaps underlines tne 
problems of going into Europe. 
Development organisations — whether 
entrepreneurial or financial — need 
experience and a bridgehead. Some 
have bought experience — like Taylor 
Woodrow and Commercial Union — but 
others will rely on those British pro- 
fessional firms which have already 
earned their spurs in the countries of 
the Six — and which already have 
formidable relations in the UK for their 
size and range of skills. Skill and 
experience will count. There will be 
no George Brown to save a few skins 
by creating low supply and high 
demands.

THE GUARDIAN 


By IAN AITKEN 


A delegation from the 
Northern Ireland Labour 
Party which yesterday met 
the Home Secretary, Mr 
Maudling, made it clear at a 
press conference afterwards 
that it was totally opposed to 
internment without trial. 

The announcement that 219 
internment orders bad been 
issued by Mr Faulkner was 
described as “one step towards 
a real bloodbath in Northern 
Ireland." 

Mr Vivian Simpson, the last 
remaining Opposition MP still 
formally attending sittings of 
the Stormont Parliament, said : 
“We are very badly disturbed. 
As a party we are totally 
opposed to internment. As a 
>Ucy. internment is counter- 
even if 


poucy, 

productive politically, i 
it is justified militarily. 

Mr Maudling was continuing 
his series of talks with grass- 
roots organisations from North- 
ern Ireland at the Home Office. 
Mr Simpson and his colleagues 
brought with them a formal 
Northern Ireland Labour Party 
plan for political reform in 
Ulster, including the creation 
of a Community Government of 
Social Reconstruction, the intro- 
duction of proportional repre- 
sentation in elections for the 
Stormont Parliament, the en- 
largement of the Senate and the 
House of Commons in Northern 
Ireland, and the carrying out 
of the committee system advo- 
cated by the Northern Ireland 
Prime Minister, Mr Faulkner, 
earlier this year. 

The delegation made it dear 
that it believes there should be 
a Northern Ireland Conference 
along the lines proposed by Mr 
Maudling and that it should be 
confined to democratic political 
parties and the representatives 
of other bodies which forswear 
violence. 


Not an issue 


Northern Ireland's position as 
an integral self-governing entity 
within the United Kingdom 
should not be an issue at tbe 
conference, a policy statement 
issued by tbe delegation said. 

But Mr Simpson and his col- 
leagues also proposed the for- 
mation of a legal security com- 
mission of eminent lawyers 
from Great Britain and Northern 
Ireland, under the chairmanship 
of a distinguished Common- 
wealth judge, charged with the 
assessment of the case against 
those held under internment, 
and to keep developments in the 
field of security under constant 
surveillance. 

The delegation suggested to 
Mr Maudling that such a com- 
mission should be convened on 
neutral territory, such as the 
Isle of Man. that it should make 
provision for the security of 
witnesses appearing before it, 
and that witnesses should be 
allowed to be represented by 
counsel. 

Mr Archie McArdle, a Belfast 
fireman, added a plea for swift 
action to end the present situa- 
tion. “ We are going to be left 
with a ghost city. I am speaking 
as a fire officer and people in 
that capacity have been work- 
ing right round the dock. It is 
impossible for them to continue 
working in that way. We are 
debevilied by the mad bombers, 
and by people, including MPs, 
who make foolish statements." 

While Mr Simpson and his 
colleagues were meeting Mr 
Maudling, the Shadow Cabinet 
was meeting at Westminster to 
prepare for next week's emer- 
gency two-day debate 

In spite of pressure to table 
a motion attacking the Gov- 
ernment’s handling of the 
Ulster situation. Shadow Minis- 
ters, under the chairmanship of 
Mr Roy Jenkins (Mr Wilson is 
in Moscow) decided to post- 
pone a decision on whether to 
force a vote at the end of the 
debate 

However, it was already dear 
yesterday that there will be a 
division at the end of the de- 
bate, whether the Shadow Cab- 
inet deddes to make it official 
or not A substantial number 
of back-bench Labour MPs have 
every intention of voting against 
the Government even on a 
simple motion for the adjourn- 
ment of the House If the 
Shadow Cabinet decides not to 
forec a vote. 

Mr Jenkins and his colleagues 
did decide, however, on the 
front-bench speakers for the 
two-day debate. Mr Callaghan, 
the Shadow Home Secre 
will open on the first day, wil 
Mr Roy Hattersley winding up 
that night Mr Wilson will open 
the second day's debate, with 
Mr George Thomson winding 
up- 


2 killings 


From DEREK BROWN in Belfast 

The Provisional wing of the IRA yesterday claimed 
credit for killing two soldiers in Northern Ireland on 
Tuesday. It’ did not claim any more victims yesterday, 
although the day contained several potential tragedies. 

In Belfast, three petrol bombs were hurled at a bus 
filled with 30 handicapped children from St Aloysius’s 
Roman Catholic school. The bus was attacked by a 
of youths in the 


group of you 
Protestant Springfield Road. 
The bus was badly burned. 
Two, of the children were 
taken to hospital with minor 
injuries and one was detained. 

Shots were fired at the army 
in Belfast during the day and 
the soldiers returned about 10 
rounds. A number of 
bombs and nail bom

started early in the morning 
when CS gas was used to dis-

into the post. Later, a single 
shot was fired into the post, but 
it did not bit anyone.

THE SECRETARY for the 
Environment Is to try to end 
a three-month disagreement 
over the colour of a front 
door. Mr Walker has asked 
for evidence to help him to 
make a decision. 

He must decide between the 
pale primrose chosen by Miss 
Edmunda Wellesley - Colley 
and a dark brown or black 
favoured by Bath eoundL 

The row began in June 
when the council insisted that 
Miss WeUesIey-Colley — a 
pensioner and a descendant 
of the first Duke of Welling- 
ton — needed planning permis- 
sion for the repainted front 
door and matching roller 
blinds at her home at The 
Circus. Miss WeUesIey-Colley 
said yesterday that for Mr 
Walker to take the final deci- 
sion “ seems a very underhand 
way of doing things. It smacks 
of dictatorship. 

“I appealed against the 
council’s decision and I Imag- 
ined that there would have to 
be a public appeal. I believe 
this is a test case and Is some- 
thing that concerns families 
throughout Britain. Everyone 
should have the right to 
choose the colour of his own 
front door.”

decision yesterday 
could increase industrial 
trouble. 

The Confederation of Ship- 
building and Engineering 
Unions, meeting in London, 
gave three months’ notice of its 
intention to end the 49-year-old 
procedure agreement for hand- 
ling disputes. This decision has 
to be ratified by a full' meeting 
of the CSEU executive at York 
today, and there is no doubt 
that it will be. 

Mr Hugh Scanlon, president 
of the Amalgamated Union of 
Engineering Workers, was 
unable to forecast whether 
there would be more or less 
industrial trouble. In effect, the 
decision means that when 
trouble breaks out on the shop 
floor the procedure will not be 
used. 

It is unldkely, however, that 
management or unions would 
allow such a situation to last 
Mr Martin Jukes, director- 
general of the Engineering 
Employers' Federation, which 
has more than 4,500 member 
firms, said last night that satis-

not be discouraged. 

Several unions within the 
CSEU are known to be worried 
about ending the procedure, but 
they apparently kept quiet yes- 
terday. Today, Mr Jack Service, 
the CSEIT5 general secretary, 
will be writing to its 24 unions

Lady Rowallan, the wife of

marnock has died. She was 72. 

Lady Rowallan is tbe sister of 
Mr Jo Grimond. the former 
Leader of the Liberal Party- In

Teachers’ pay 


Teachers at colleges of edu- 
cation will have to wait to dis- 
cover whether their latest claim 
for revised pay is approved.

great dissatisfaction with 


the 

National League of Young 
Liberals and the leadership in 
particular. 

The report's proposal that 
membership of tpe party should 
first be by entry into the main 
party is not universally 
approved. It would imply a 
degree of organisation which 
the Liberal » Party does not 
expect to achieve though Mr 
Richard Wainwright, the Chair- 
man of the party, is understood 
to agree that any candidate for 
office should be a member of 
the main party . 

Tbe Young Liberals dislike the 
membership test proposal and 
regard the report as largely 
“ irrelevant.’’ The report itself 
rejects all proposals for the dis- 
bandment of the Young 
laterals, particularly in view 
of the history of the Labour 
Party and the Young Socialists 
Movement. The report notes that 
the Young Liberals “care more 
than any other generation be- 
fore them about the welfare 
and dignity of individual people, 
not only in this country out 
throughout the world.” 


The "welfare and dignity” 
of immigrants, about which 
Lord Wade spoke in moving an 
emergency motion reaffirming 
opposition to the Immigration 
Bill, was present in the minds 
of most delegates, many of 
whom stood in appreciation of 
Lord Wade’s speech and of his 
work on the Bill in the Lords. 
Lord Wade promised more 
opposition when Parliament 
reassembled, and his objections 
to the Bill were supported by 
all who spoke.

1 THE WEATHER 


October warm 
and dry 




Today: dry ; 
most pa 


THE WEATHER for next month will be warmer 
than usual and rather dry, the London Weather 
Centre said yesterday. During the first week rather 
unsettled weather is likely in many N districts, but 
it will be mainly dry over Wales and most of 
England. 

Over the 30-day period as a whole a good deal 
of dry weather is expected in all areas, with one 
or two short wet spells. Over England and Wales 
the wet spells seem more likely around the turn 
of the month or later. Morning fog may be rather 


more frequent than in recent years near : industrial 
areas.
